Question: my friend is suffering from a severe neck pain and muscle contruction for two weeks now. his right shoulder hurts and even his right ellbow and between the middle and ring finger. Since the pain is very severe he as sleeping problems. I guess it is because of stress and bad posture sitting the whole day behind his PC. Thank you for the advise.

Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for posting your query
I really appreciate your concern for your friend. As you have rightly pointed out the possible cause could be lack of exercises and poor posture. Based on the symptoms it looks to be severe stiffness of neck muscles along with pain in elbow and hand could be because of muscle fatigue. To confirm this please tell me-
1.Is he able to move neck sideway to full extent, is there any restriction of movement?
2.Is there any radiating pain from neck to upper limb with numbness and tingling sensation?
Meanwhile my suggestion for him are-
Hot water fomentation,Ibuprofen along with muscle relaxant drug cyclobenzapine helps in early recovery.Physiotherapy also helps.
Hope this helps and I shall be glad to answer any further query.
Regards
