Suggest Treatment For Neck & Head Pain

I ve been experiencing neck and head pain. It feels as if something was tugging down on my neck muscles. My head feels as if it was too heavy for my neck to carry. It gets better with rest and by using a neck pillow. I wake up without pain, but it comes back later during the day.

Hello,

It could be a musculoskeletal pain.

As first-line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.

If symptoms persist better to consult an orthopedic and plan for an MRI scan.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
