A member asked:

There is a crick in my neck that is painful. if i move it off my shoulder it cramps and i squeal with pain. what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Homeopathic arnica, bryonia, and rhus tox will help. Ibuprofen may also be helpful. Massage would be useful as well. It is a muscle spasm and you are aware how painful it can be... Hope this info helps.
