A member asked:
I have a sharp pain between my shoulder and back of my neck. just on the right. seems to be a muscle kink, it's been 2 days. what can i do?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Strain, spasm: While there are many reasons to have neck pain, muscle strain, connective tissue sprain, and spasm are probably the most common. Typical treatment includes rest from painful activity, anti inflammatory meds (motrin, aleve, (naproxen) etc), therapy techniques (heat, ice, massage, stretching). Good, old fashioned "time" can help too, but pain for more than a few weeks should be evaluated by a professional.
