Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have leg imbalance and stiffness in the neck. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like cervical spondylosis , cervical radiculopathy , migraine or muscle spasm . The symptoms can also occur due to lymphadenopathy , so consult ENT specialist ,who may prescribe antibiotics along with anti inflammatory . Avoid bending forward and touching sharp objects. I would suggest you to apply warm compresses on neck and take proper rest , and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . Consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or MRI along with physical examination of the neck . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory , antiemetic drug or recommend physical therapy along with stretching exercises .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
