I have a very stiff neck,it woke me up from my sleep last night and has persisted all day..I tried using a heating pad thinking maybe i sprained it somehow.But,it is truly painful. I can t lay flat down as the pain shoots thru my neck and right below my neck muscles..2 days ago, i had a terrible pain under my right shoulder blade,that went away after 1 day,but it seems to have weakened my right arm. I cant bend down without my head hurting and i m afraid 2 lay down as the pain in my neck gets more severe.I don t have a fever but, i do have chills on and off. I m afraid, i don t have a car or money for a cab so i would have 2 walk to the hospital which is about 10 blocks away. I feel weak and tired, i have developed some type of trembling in my hands. nothing severe..The neck pain is terrible tho ,it s like having a stiff neck only 100times worse..can u give me any advise?Oh,nevermind i see now that u have to pay for this.I m sorry..
Hello, I have studied your case. Due to compression of nerve root there is stiffness in your neck. In cervical spine muscle spasm there may be loss of lordosis. For these symptoms analgesic and neurotrophic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and inferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise checking your it B12 and it D3 level. Hope this answers your query.
