What advice would u give for siezed up muscles in the neck n shoulder thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things: Applying heat may help (careful not to burn the skin). Some folks find cold helpful too. Simple over the counter pain medicine can help (follow package instructions). A supportive pillow when resting and sleeping could also help. See your primary provider if this fails or if it gets worse.
