A member asked:

How can i get rid of the pain and stiffness in my neck?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a Doc: I would recommend a consultation with a physiatrist who is a specialist in the evaluation and treatment of these types of conditions. He/she will be able to give you a diagnosis and then prescribe a program (usually physical therapy, sometimes meds, sometimes injections) to help you.
