Why is my neck and shoulders so stiff when i wake up in the morning?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stress Maybe: There are many causes for this from sleeping on a new mattress or pillow to stress related grinding at night. Some patients report TMJ jaw pain radiating to the neck and shoulders. If this is a new problem has your sleeping accommodation changed or has your stress increased? Whether it is a new or old problem start by seeing your dentist and an md to find the cause and treat the problem.
