I am a female 67 years old. I have had a stiff neck for about a month. Other than that I feel great. I ve been blaming it on a crappy pillow. It is mostly stiff turning side to side. Also I am a side sleeper. Should I be worried or look for a better pillow.
Hello, Stiff neck may be due to cervical spondylosis or neck muscles spasm or meningitis. Until examination is done, it is difficult to say what it is. Avoid pillow while sleeping, use tablet Zanaflex once a day for five days. Use cold and warm compression. If symptoms not improved please get an X-ray cervical spine then consult your physician. He will examine and treat you accordingly. Hope I have answered your query.
