How can i make my neck stop hurting?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: There are several joints and intervertebral discs in the neck. These can wear out over time leading to pain. Degeneration of the joints or discs can cause neck pain, headaches, and/or shoulder pain. Poor sitting posture can actually put more pressure on these structures increasing the pain. Be sure to have a good sitting posture or lumbar support to reduce these symptoms.
