A member asked:

My neck still hurts after my injury. what can i do for the pain?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anti-inflammatory: Depends on your injury. Sharp neck pain usually comes from a degenerative joint or disc in the neck. Sometimes it's from a muscle strain or sprain. Early treatment options include a short course of nsaids (advil, aleve), gentle massage, moist heat, and focusing on posture. If pain lasts greater than 2 weeks see your physician.
