Hello. i have 5 years problem at my shoulders and neck. the doctors in holland say my muscles are stresst. what can i do?

Tried phys. therapy?: There are many possible causes of pain in the back of the neck. A doctor can evaluate to figure it out. There could be a muscle strain or spasm, inflammation in the joints or tendons, nerve pain from the spine or on the skin, an outbreak of shingles, etc... If a person is older or otherwise at risk for cancers, the doctor will look for tumors as well. Young people more often have muscle strains.
