Hello, thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. I am Dr. Akshay from fortis hospital, new delhi. You will have to elaborate your problem as to a detailed discussion of your neck pain which means duration of pain and mode of onset. I would also like to ask you if it is associated with any radiating upper limb pain or any other neurological symptoms like numbness, paraesthesias (electrical shock like abnormal sensations) or any weakness in limbs. Please also tell me about any associated symptoms like fever, weight loss etc. What medications you generally take and what has been your treatment history till now for existing problem. If you have a localized kind of pain in your neck then I can suggest you some initial steps: - to maintain proper posture of your neck while working and sleeping - if pain is more then you can take a short course of an anti-inflammatory medication which suits you like tab etoshine, tab paracetamol etc. - physical therapy initially under supervision of a trained physiotherapist and then to continue at home focusing on isometric exercises for your neck region. - adequate calcium & vitamin d intake if levels are low in body - ice packs can applied if your pain is acute, then hot fomentation can be done at home - analgesic spray for local application can be used and is easily available. Please try this for 2-3 weeks and if your symptoms are still persisting, then it is wise to get some investigations done. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. Thanks & regards
