What Causes Stiffness At The Nape Of The Neck Area?

Yesterday afternoon I began scratching the back of my head and as night time came I felt an itching feeling in my midriff area. When I got home I noticed a rash line on my lower abdomen on my belt line. This morning I took some Benedryl that relieved the itching. As the day progressed, the back of my neck became stiff. Although the itching has subsided, the back of the neck is still stiff. I have scheduled a consult with my physician tomorrow at noon.

Hello,

I have studied your case.

In cervical spine muscle spasm there may be loss of lordosis.

For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started.
Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help.
Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.

There can be associated allergy with it.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
