Suggest Remedies For Persistent Stiffness In The Neck

Hello, I ve had a stiff neck for the past three days. After using Thermo-Care patches for the past two, It has not gotten any better. In fact, it s gotten worse. I ve inquired with three pharmacists about using a topical like Icy-Hot, or Aspercreme with Lidocaine, even Tiger Balm. They all was of the opinion that these topicals were unlikely to work and that I should see my Doctor for muscle relaxers. I have been unable to sleep for the past two days any advise would be appreciated. Thank you
