Common Questions and Answers about Stiff neck pain relief medicine

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 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 n tn But meningitis is fatal. And the hallmark symptom is stiff neck and neck pain coupled with fever.

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.
1415174 tn?1453243103 past the place where the pain is felt.........go to the pain and stop. If after a couple of days, your neck is no better......or worse, see your doctor, especially if the pain worsens when you bend your chin to your chest. I also found that eating several chocolate chip cookies right after this exercise seemed to help. Give it a shot. What do you have to lose? I hope it helps! https://www.youtube.com/watch?
Avatar f tn I have a neck cramp and I am about 1-2 months pregnant what kind of pain medicine can I take?
Avatar f tn On day two, I developed a severe headache and very stiff neck. I have had migraines in the past that originate in my neck/shoulder area. So, I thought I was getting a migraine like I've had in the past...I started doing all the things that have worked to relieve the pain before (massage, advil, heat, ice, rest, etc.) but, nothing worked. By day three, I started looking on-line to see if this could be a reaction to the medicine. On day five, I was exhausted.
Avatar n tn was diagnosed with Lupus back in January of this year but the doc stated it was mild. I've been having these really bad spinal pains to where sometimes my spine feels stiff. My neck gets really stiff to where as though its limited on how much I can turn my neck. I get pressure headaches and I feel confused sometimes. Last but not least, I have this burning sensation all through my body in different parts but mainly in my back and arms.
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 .
Avatar m tn The treatment they prescribed was getting cold injections to the nerves in neck and head. She received three treatments over the past year with some short term relief of pain but always come back. Beside this treatment she been doing a routine of physiotherapy, deep tisse massage, water therapy with some relief but not enough. She is going to start acupunture soon.
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 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.
Avatar f tn Is there any truely non narcotic, non-addictive pain relief that works for moderate to severe muscularskeletal pain??
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?
