Suggest Treatment For Neck And Shoulder Pain In An Elderly Person
My sister is 70 yrs old and has head tremors. Her neck and shoulders hurt and she thinks it from her tremors. If she turns her head one direction, it stops. She refuses to go to a doctor, but she needs to be checked. She has issues sleeping and keeps changing pillows to help with the neck pain. Any suggestions?
