What Causes Stiffness In The Neck And Headache Upon Exertion?
Question: Even after a little bit of workout or exertion I get lots of blues and pain all over the body especially on back side of things, near arm joints and stiffness in neck accompanied by headache.
Brief Answer:
Get yourself clinically examined by an Orthopedician
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.
After reading your post, it seems that your symptoms might be due to excessive workout.
Following investigations can be helpful to rule out other conditions:-
1. Complete Blood Count (CBC)
2. Rheumatoid Factor
3. Serum Uric Acid
4. Serum Calcium, Sodium, Potassium
5. Vitamin D3 levels
6. X-Ray Neck (AP / Lateral view)
Stiffness in neck followed by headache is suggestive of cervical spondylosis which can increase with workout.
You should avoid heavy workouts that increase your pain. Instead go for walk or jogging.
A pain killer like Diclofenac 50 mg with a muscle relaxant like Thiocolchicoside 4 mg will help in relieving your joint pains.
A proper clinical evaluation by an Orthopaedician will help in planning your further medical management.
I hope this is helpful to you. If you have any further query, I will be happy to help.
Regards. Thanks.
