Neck pain an hour after waking. it's a tight feeling. then the headache starts. diclofenac and a heating pad helps with the pain. this is off and on throughout the day. what else can i do besides muscle relaxers and pain meds?

Appears symptoms are being treated but etiology of the problem remains unclear. There may be an emerging migraine pattern, but primary neck pathology needs to be fully assessed. Suggest physiatrist or neurologist as source of additional advice.
