My neck has been stiff and sore for a week. i feel it when i rub the muscles of my shoulders and neck. any recommended stretches. been to doctor ?

As long as you: Have not had any other new symptoms, such as pain shooting down arm or anything else suggesting nerve irritation or weakness, then stretching at your age should be appropriate. If you look at a site called www.Spine-health.Com, they have some good neck stretches. If this does not improve in the next few days, consider seeing a doctor. Hope that helps!
