How Can Pain In The Shoulders And Neck Be Treated?
Yes, thank you. I m in some pain after about a week. It started in my shoulder blades and is traveling toward my neck. Painful to move my head this a.m. So, do I see a chiropractor? Get a massage? Take motrin? Do yoga? Or maybe acupunture? I m not sure which remedy would be best.

Hello welcome to the health care magic
If it is musculoskeletal pain than no need to worry
If past history of bad sleep posture, heavy work, strenous work is present than muscular strain can lead such pain
For which ibuprofen like drug prescribed for five days
Hot compress can be applied
Take sleep on proper position and avoid strenous work
Hope your concern solved
If no improvement than physical examination needed and accordingly further work up
