How do you cure stiff arms/back?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stiffness: If you have had trauma to those parts of your body and not sustain any fractures or slipped disks, warm compresses will help. Taking ibuprofen/acetaminophen will healp ease the pain. It usually takes about 5 to 7 days to relieve the muscle strain.
