I am having a neck pain, specifically on my right neck. It hurts when I move it up, down or side to side. I ve been sleeping on my right side since I gave birth so I can easily attend to my daughters needs. I suspect it s a stiff neck. I have difficulty swallowing last night but it was gone the next day but I still have the neck pain.
Hi, Your sleeping posture is consistently on the right side and this can lead to muscular spasm- a stiff neck as you have mentioned. Use hot packs and stretching exercises of the neck in all planes (up /down, side to side, and bending the neck to the shoulders to relax the muscles. A local pain cream can be applied. Oral medications are better avoided since you are probably breastfeeding
