2125089 tn?1386343083 I woke up one day with neck stiff. I have a newborn baby, and I thought it was from me falling asleep in a weird position while holding him. A week later I caught a bad cold, drainage horrible, lost my voice. I am breastfeeding so I didn't want to take anything for my cold... it seemed to get better. Now it has been 1 1/2 months since I woke up with the stiff neck.
Avatar f tn However if you have just begun anxiety/panic disorder treatment--headache--slight fever--horrible stiff neck/joint pain usually accompanies it. Hope this helped.
Avatar n tn Also if it is stress related would it be safe to have a massage? My neck and back feel really stiff today, so I wondered if I would be ok to go for a massage to see if it relieves some pain.

Avatar f tn ( I wake up every morning with a pounding headache behind my eyes and a stiff neck. Anyone know a good natural remidie to make these headaches go away. I was in tears today because I feel like I just can't take it anymore. Yes I am drinking water.
Avatar m tn It could be stress but I had a mild sore throat yesterday with a little neck pain I took an antibiotic just in case and the next day the sore throat subsided and my neck was a little stiff. By the evening I had a headache that was so insanely painful i wanted to cry. My neck was killing me and I had to lay there on a towel full of ice just to tolerate it. When I woke up today my headache is gone but my neck is stiff and still a little painful. Is this something to worry about?
Avatar f tn Stiff neck can be caused by a lot of different things...stress is being a big one...along with muscle strain...etc. I personally find relief with hot/cold compresses, herbal massage cream (like a sports cream), mild massage, hot soak in the tub, a nice roll pillow...sometimes a mix of Tylenol & Motrin piggybacked (please do not do this without speaking to your doctor first - this is something my doctor worked out for me and my motrin is a prescription).
Avatar f tn s office not an ENT. The symptoms were unbearable. The headache, pressure in my head, stiff neck , and the dizzieness had to be treated. I had a ct scan and blood work. All was well. I was prescribed meclizine and ibuprofen . I just took the first dose of both medications, I hope this will help me. I will post at a later date how I am feeling. Thanks for your response.
Avatar n tn A mild to moderate stiff neck or a painful neck can be normal with headaches, but a very stiff neck or a stiff neck with fever is something to watch out for. You will get better on your own with time, don't worry. Just keep eating healthy, try to reduce stress, drink enough water, don't change your sleep schedule around too much (you mention you haven't been sleeping well, try to get back onto a very regular sleep schedule...
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 n tn I do not have any dizziness/vertigo/vomiting/nausea/upset stomach/muscle pain nothing but a sore throat, horrible headache, and stiff/hurting neck. I am 22, I have a 7 month old daughter, I am 115-120 Lbs 5'3 and there is cancer in my family, but all theirs was to do with smoking and I am a nonsmoker and so is my husband. Thanks so much. I can not see a doctor as I do not have insurance, do not qualify for state help, and have too much debt/bills to pay for on my own.
Avatar f tn Don't you have a stiff neck? But if it's worsen that that, then I guess you have to see an joint pain specialist. There might be some broken veins. Try to undergo test and check ups for that matter and ask what a doctor can advice on your with this pain trouble you're suffering. I hope you'll get better soon.
Avatar n tn Hello, Numbness on one side of the brain along with headache, more with movement of the neck can be due to whiplash injury or cervical spodylosis. Diagnosis can be confirmed by X-ray, CT or MRI of the head and neck. You can use anti-inflammatory painkillers like ibuprofen, paracetamol. Muscle relaxants, or narcotics will also help. Use of soft cervical collars is also helpful. A good posture may help. Brace your shoulders slightly backwards, and walk 'like a model'.

Avatar n tn t had a bad spasm for several years. What I do notice more is upper back stiffness. My neck often feels stiff on one side, the side on which a migraine will develop. I experience stiffness on both sides and left and right side migraines. Sometimes I get migraines in the whole of my head, but the neck stiffness is always worse when I have them. To my knowledge, I have not ever sustained an injury to my neck.
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.
