Common Questions and Answers about Stiff neck pain relief

neck

Avatar n tn I also woke up one morning with a stiff neck out of nowhere. Essentially, my head was immobile. I went to my long time chiro and got little relief, but kept going and used ice on it for 10 minutes on 10 minutes off. Though this seemed very counter intuitive to me, it really helped. I did not go to an MD, but did wonder about meningitis given the abrupt onset and severity. However, there were no other symptoms except fatigue which I felt was secondary to the pain and stress of the neck.
Avatar f tn I am a LimboLander with an uncomfortable new symptom--or maybe not a symptom?? I have a stiff neck--and not the kind that you get after you sleep weird--and not like something is "out." It's just this line of pain from my neck dowm my right arm--and up to my jaw--I feel stupid asking because maybe it's just a stiff neck--but I've never had pain like this before and was just wondering if this sounds like something to add to my log of sx or if it seems unrelated.
Avatar f tn My left side of my neck is stiff for a week now, no pain I can move it no problem it feels strange I don't know how to explain, plus i have palpation,what it can be , it is very annoying
1458799 tn?1328757528 i spent hundreds of dollars on various tests and medications to find out that my stiff neck, "pinched" nerves, migraines, and shoulder/back pain were due to severe anxiety. when i lost my job, many of my maladies diminished or disappeared completely. if you are not currently seeing a therapist, you may want to consider it to find the specific cause of your anxiety. maybe it will be something you can change and finally get relief from your pain.
Avatar f tn I woke up about 4 weeks ago with a stiff neck. I assumed maybe I slept wrong and thought it would go away. After about 2 weeks I told my doctor and he said the same thing and gave me muscle relaxers and said to use bengay and hot showers. I've been doing all of that and the pain hasn't even eased up! It is like at the bottom of my skull and it hurts to turn my head either direction and sometimes when moving my head it will cause it to jerk on its own .
5559430 tn?1369931341 I have a hard time tolerating this stiff neck and head pain. I feel so bad that I almost always feel like I should go to the emergency room.
Avatar f tn I woke up with slightly annoying neck pain one day, like a stiff neck, and didn’t think anything of it. Went to sleep and woke up to the most intense rotator impingement with excruciating pain with no relief from any medicine or any other forms of treatment. Went to see my doctor, who set me up with an orthopedist, and my MRI is scheduled. The problem is, I went from not being able to use my arm at all for 3 days straight, to waking up feeling almost much better.
Avatar f tn My eye sight is a little blurry but I can handle that. Also my neck is very sore almost stiff feeling. I am also very nasuea when I try to eat anything. I have taken Migraine relief pills (OTC) and also advil. Nothing is helping. I have tried cold and warm cloths to the eye and a heating patch to the neck still no relief! It woke me up at 3 am and I am un able to sleep due to it! Help!!
Avatar m tn I got some relief but after a week swollen knee and stiff neck worsened again and this time with pain in every part of my body. I could hardly get out of my bed in the morning. I once again consulted a doctor and gave me another one week dose of antibiotics and pain killers. This time, no any relief. At that time, it was difficult to raise my hands up or pick up heavy objects. I consulted another doctor took a CBC, ESR and CRP. CBC was normal except high platelets (511 k/ul).
Avatar f tn Over the last 6-7 years the pain has centered in on my neck. About every 10 days, one side or the other of my neck becomes very stiff and painful causing a severe headache on the forehead of the same side of the head. This neck and head pain lasts for 3 days each time. MRI has come back clear. Was given some "anti-depressants" to see if that would help with the tension/pain - it didn't.
666921 tn?1254990618 all I had was phone call abour MRI results. Yes I do get problems other than neck pain but do not know what pressure on nerves can cause other than pain!! Am I right in thinking that LYME can cause the arthritis? What causes the extremely stiff neck that some Lyme patients experience at on set. I presume it is muscle tension-I guess unrelenting tension in neck/shoulder area can start to impact on the skeleton by pulling etc; I haven't ruled out Lyme.
1232362 tn?1333135406 over the past 2 weeks, but especially past 24 hrs I've had increasing neck pain that I also feel on the outside of my right arm. I now have pain doing things like lifting light items like a quart of milk or opening the venetian blinds, turning my head to the right is painful. The pain is not like a typical stiff neck, but like I'm being sliced open with no anesthesia. I do have a herniated disc at c6 which I had a cervical epidural for almost a year ago. Could this be acting up again?
Avatar m tn thanx for replying so fast...
Avatar n tn Before I had the lumbar puncture, I had very bad lower back pain, stiff neck and severe headache. After the lumbar puncture was done, I felt complete relief - no back, neck or head pain - it was like a huge weight had been lifted and all the pressure was gone. I felt the best I'd felt in months!!! However, the next day, the head and neck pain were back, but no pain in my lower back?
Avatar f tn It has been a 7 days of taking the tapszole. He is sending me for bloodwork every two weeks but I won't seem him until April ( unless something in the bloodwork warrants his attention). He did say muscle pain is a side effect. My first round of blood work is one week from now (he wants me to take two weeks of the tapazole first then do the first blood work). I'm thinking to calling his office and seeing him right after he gets my results from the blood work.
Avatar f tn I am frustrated by the loud noise with pressure on the side of my head above my ear by my temple and the back of my neck is stiff after exercise. Does anyone know what I could do. Thank you.
11079760 tn?1483386130 Hi Cheryl. I'm sorry about your back pain. This could be from a lot of factors, including MS. What do your most recent spinal MRIs say about lesions? The fact that Aleve helps at least somewhat is good, and suggests this may not be nerve pain. Maybe you need a stronger NSAID. But the fact that gab. didn't work is not conclusive. It very often takes successive heavy doses of this to make a difference. Keep in mind that the max daily dose of this is 3600 mg.
Avatar n tn I have found a few things that seem to have helped with my neck pain- after warming my neck in a bath or shower I massage essential oils into my neck and shoulders ie;rosemary, lavender etc; then I wrap a warm towel around my neck and get quite a bit of relief I will say the longer I have used this method the more beneficial its become.
Avatar f tn Yes, I have pretty severe tenderness especially when migraine seems to concentrate in one particular area. I am concerned about you wriiting about a stiff neck - this is a major red flag for certain infectious diseases. Do you have a fever, is it over 100? I get a mild fever during migraine aura stage, but anything high you really need to get help now!
Avatar n tn It is unusual for a benign thyroid mass in the front of your neck to give you neck pain and a stiff neck in the back of the neck. I suspect that this is from some mild cervical spondylosis as described by your MRI findings.
1458799 tn?1328757528 does anexity cause stiff neck? ive found out that i have 2 bone spurs and digenatrive disc disease and my neck hurts all the time when i look sideways i feel it pulling my neck and it makes me feel dizzy the dr said that the spurs would not cause this i feel like all my problems r comming from my neck im try to beat this. my health anexity is high right now because of all the dizziness/lightheadedness its really taken a toll on me. do any of yall feel the same?
