What to recommend for tight neck and upper back muscles that been hurting for a month. taking tylenol (acetaminophen) and advil every other day having severe pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Take muscle : relaxant such as Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) with the pain killers. You need a prescription for that. Also apply warm compresses for 20 minutes x2 a day. If symptoms persist see a Physical therapist provided that no major problem such as herniated disc has been found.
