Question 1

i do horseback riding and squats. i get pain in my thighs down into my legs, my shoulders, arms, neck, and lower back. how can i ease muscle soreness?

Accepted Answer

Soreness: Horseback riding does take a lot of muscular energy.  In general, hydration and good stretching before and after exercise will help limit spasm and aches &amp; pains.  There are many topical treatments that can help also, most are OTC.  Find the one that works best for you.

Question 2

what may be the cause of thickness around the spine just below my neck. my neck is sore almost constantly but the swelling is not painful to touch ?

Accepted Answer

Your age is needed: When you say "thickness" around the spine I assume you are talking about the musculature in your neck. To answer your question it would be helpful to know your age and occupation and any other symptoms like loss of cervical motion, tingling in your arms. I would suggest that you consult with your family physician to ascertain the cause of this "thickness".

Question 3

left side neck pain, aprx 10days, sore 2 touch v.painful; cbc good, ear/tooth negative, ultra-s fine; what else to check/look out for?

Accepted Answer

The most common: problem would be a strain of the neck.  This can range from muscle strain to disc rupture.  Fortunately, most of these things will get better with time.   Anti-inflammatory medicines often help a great deal.  Try taking Naprosyn (naproxen) which is available over the counter, twice a day.  As far as which test might be helpful, an MRI of the neck can be a useful for persistent neck pain.   Good luck.

Question 8

my throat is really sore it's painful to swallow , talk , yawn, it also hurts my ears to swallow and my neck is sore . what could this be?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can evaluate: Throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go quickly (mainly to check for strep throat). Sore throats can heal on their own, but antibiotics are used for strep throat.

Question 9

i am experiencing  sore throat, headache, neck pain, sinus pain and nasal congestion. the following also describe me: sneezing and painful throat sores. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: New throat pain can be from a strep throat infection (antibiotics needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies or irritants. Usually, a person sees the doctor if the sore throat is bothersome, recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to look for strep). Throat lozenges and Tylenol (acetaminophen) or Motrin (ibuprofen) may lessen pain.

Question 10

did a somersault neck is sore and stiff now?

Accepted Answer

Strain: A strain of the neck muscles is treated with cold applications(20 minutes  4 times a day) for 48 hours and then switching to heat. If you can take them, anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen or naproxen can relieve pain. In cases with severe stiffness and pain on motion, wearing a soft cervical collar when up and about and/or while sleeping is used. A muscle relaxant can be prescribed.
