I have pain and tightness in back of my head near my neck. I also feel weakness in both of my legs. After facet injection, the symtoms got worse. If I sit on a sofa, the pain gets worse when my head touches the back of sofa. Thanks for your help! - Penny

It looks like that you are having weak cervical muscles. Are you sit for long hours in front of laptop or drive bike or play any sport. Because these things can make your neck muscles fatigue. I would recommend you to start neck muscle physiotherapy, take muscle relaxant like myoril and apply diclofenec ointment at your neck. avoid using very high pillow.
