A member asked:
Could sleeping on a poor pillow be the cause of tight neck muscles and tight muscles throughout the head? have very poor posture also.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Maybe? But see a doc: Many things can cause neck pain. Certainly sleeping on a pillow that's not the right fit for you can cause such things. I note that you talk about foot numbness in "conditions". That raises the possibility of disc issues in your back, and possibly your neck. To further assess that, you really need a good physical examination and some imaging to look into the issue. Please see your doctor soon.
