A member asked:
I have stiff neck for the past two weeks. pain is now spreading to upper back and shoulder on the right side. getting difficult to turn head. help?

Neck pain: At your age, a stiff neck is most commonly due to degenerative changes, meaning aging changes. For now, your symptoms should be well treatable with simple conservative measures such as stretching, range of motion exercises, and anti-inflammatory meds (such as ibuprofen, naproxyn). See an md if symptoms persist.
