How Can Pain And Stiffness In The Neck Be Treated?

Hello. I ve been having neck stiffness/pain/pressure for a few weeks now, in addition i ve been feeling pressure in my head, headaches, some sort of foggy feeling that i cant explain. My vision is normal, but it sometimes feels a bit weird. I went to the hospital 2 weeks ago and they had me take a CT scan w dye and they suspected i had a dissection in the V4 segment vertibral artery. After a night in the hospital they let me go with baby dose of aspirin for 6 months and a final diagnoses that claims that i have a dominant right artery and a variant diminutive left artery. I am still feeling these symptoms and i dont rrally understand whats going on because my doctor did not explain it to me properly. Can someone please help?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

It seems that you have got some degenerative process in the cervical spinal vertebral joints and due to that there is limitation of the movements in full angle. These verterbas are very commonly involved in osteoarthritic changes and lead to pain and limited mobility. For your main issues of the neck mobility, you need to consult an Orthopedist and he is the personnel trained to deal with such issues with perfection. He will go for a thorough Physical examination and some diagnostic tests and will treat according to the MRI findings. Relaxation therapy would be best instead of taking some medicine and for that she has to see the concern center, and even better than this is to come out of the stress, Tab Chlorzoxazone with Acetaminophen can be tried, and hope this information helps.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
