Pain in my neck?

Question:

The right side of my neck.I must of strained it about a month or two ago..ever since then, I've had more painful episodes with it. I take Avil, use heating pads, etc..nothing really seems to work. Suggestions?

Answers:
Ok, this isn't an easy one, because it could be caused by a number of things. One of which could be happening at work. If you work in a profession which causes you to write or look at a computer screen all day then that's probably the cause. Looking down, or possitioning your head at an angle for a long period of time can cause muscle tention. If left untreated it can even cause nerve damage. I suggest going and getting a deep tissue message, and see a chiropractor to put the bones that have been pulled out of place back, in that order of course. This should hopefully alleviate the problem, and reduce your use of Advil. Also don't take advil for extended periods of time, this can damage the liver, and the kidneys, maybe other organs as well. If my suggestions don't work it may be time for surgery, which I hope it's not, surgery isn't the best thing, infection is a risk from it, as well as complications, or faultly work. Please start with your doctor, he'll be able to tell you if it's just muscle tention or something more.

stop givin' guys head. lol. u should see a doctor. u could have torn a muscle or somethin' serious

Drink lots of water will help. go to a chiropractor. Until then, wrap your neck in a soft brace( a rolled up towel will work) to help give it support and keep it still. You may well have whiplash.

Typically, after a month, a muscle strain should have resolved itself. You may wish to speak to your personal care physician about your options.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A CHIROPRACTOR? THEY CAN WORK WONDERS BELIEVE ME. MY CHIROPRACTOR HAS TOLD ME TO USE ICE ON MY NECK FOR 20 MINUTES EACH HOUR. HEAT IS NOT GOOD BECAUSE IT MAKES IT FEEL GO FOR A WHILE BUT DOSEN'T HELP AS MUCH AS ICE. YOU COULD ALSO TRY ICE PACK FOR 20 MINUTEES, THEN HEAT FOR 20 MINUTES. THEY IS ALSO A BLUE JELL THAT HELP MINERAL ICE OR YOU CAN GET IT AT A CHIROPRATOR. THS HELP ME I WAS IN A ACCIDENT AND HAD WHIP LSHE OVER 3 YEARS AGO AND I DO THE ICE THING WHEN MY NECK HURTS. HOPE THIS HELPS YOU.
