Suggest Treatment To Reduce Pain And Pressure In The Neck
Hello, I have a question, I was in the gym 5 day ago doing pull ups when it felt uncomfortable to continue to do them. Next 2 days my neck was stiff, uncomfortable but manageable and I could go to work etc. 3rd 4th and now fifth day I am in real pain mainly ay the top of my neck where it join my head, the pain is very sore, put the main problem I'm getting is the pressure build up in that area causing pain, light headed ness etc. I am taking anti-imflamatories ( over the counter) and applying heat packs. What else could I do to reduce pain & pressure?

Hi,
From history it seems that there might be having severe strain of neck leading to spasm of muscles so not much respond with anti-inflammatory medicines.
Take some muscle relaxant medicine along with analgesics.
Apply muscle relaxant cream on the part.
Avoid doing exercises for few days.
Ok and take care.
