A member asked:
Should i see a doctor if my shoulder and neck pain haven't went away after a week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Usually a week to 10 days is enough time for those pains to improve on their own, if they are going to. Longer pain strongly suggests they are going to need other treatment instead of just rest
