Please tell me how to alleviate this pain- as it is causing excruciating pain in my neck and I don t know what to do. Please please let me know if I can get rid of it. It is on the right side back of my neck. Whenever I look anywhere it hurts and i have seen no remedies anywhere.
Welcome to Chat Doctor. Thank you for posting your query. I can understand your concern. Now, this pain and cramp like sensation in the neck may be due to a muscle spasm, or it can be due to cervical spondylosis. In cervical spondylosis, the pain radiates to the arm. In your case towards the right arm. I would suggest you to avoid lifting heavy weights much. Follow a low chair-high desk principle that is sat on low chair and lift the desk up so that you don't have to bend much. I would suggest you to take Tablet Diclofenac 100 mg and Paracetamol 500 mg along with Tablet sanitizing 300 mg - twice daily for 7 days. Apply warm compress over the area. You can also visit an orthopedic. He/she can correlate clinically. Post any other question. We will be happy to help. Have a nice day. Regards.
