I have neck pain that starts from the top of my neck and shoots down to my shoulder blade. At times the pain has been so bad that I couldnt lift or turn my head to get out of bed. This happens about 3 to 4 times a years but now instead of going away after 3 to 4 days it lasts for 2 to 3 weeks.
Hi, As this sounds like a nerve root entrapment in the cervical spine. Due to cervical spondylosis there will be symptoms once in a while for 2-3 weeks of time. Doing an MRI scan is advised. Using cervical soft collar along with hot water fermentation will be of ease to stabilize the spine and reduce the muscle spasm. Also doing static neck exercises, shoulder stabilization exercises and upper limb strengthening exercises should yield good results. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Jay In Chat Doctor.
