A member asked:
Doctors can you tell me why does my neck and shoulders ache so bad all the time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Muscle spasm: 30's person with chronic neck ; shoulder aching likely has chronic muscle spasm due to posture straining these tissues. Try heat, massage ; gentle range of motion exercises if no trauma was involved. A workplace ergonomic evaluation might be in order. Good type of doctor to evaluate is an osteopath. Unusual explanation could be thoracic outlet syndrome, which can have an insidious evolution.
