text: could a fight two months ago still cause my neck pain? in late september i had a physical fight with someone, ever since then my neck has been hurting contstantly, i mean everyday with no relief. i take otc pain meds but those have not helped. why would my neck still hurt almost two months later? i have made an appointment with my primary doc. i dont have a fever or feel sick but i do have mild headaches daily. any insight is appreciated. it's not unusual for neck pain to last for months!  (experience talking....sore, slightly torn & bruised muscles)  try hot! showers sleeping w/no pillows consciously relaxing shoulders massage (self, or by others) mild! flexing, to prevent stiffness eat protein drink h2o & oj  try to stop worrying...it'll repair itself over time  g'luck
