Hi Thank you for asking HCM. I have gone through your query. A cervical spondylosis should be ruled out in your case as this pain can be from that.A physical examination with orthopedician will give clue for that and a X ray cervical spine in anterior and lateral projections will confirm it. For such cases in my patients I advise NSAIDs like aceclofenac muscle relaxants like thiocolchicoside and neurotropic drugs. I also advise physiotherapy and muscle strengthening exercises along with this. Positions while working or sleeping should be normalized. Avoid using big pillows. Cervical collars also advised in some. Hope this may help you. Let me know if you have any further queries.
