Suggest Remedy For Neck And Shoulder Pain
Hi, I think I pulled my muscle during a rollercoaster 11 days ago. I have this neck and shoulder pain since. On the first few days, I really have problem turning my head, and difficult to lay down to sleep. It has gotten better, I can sleep with no discomfort but I still feel pain in neck in the morning when getting out of bed. Other times of the day, it is stiff when I try to tilt it further front and back, but not much when turning side to side. Should I see a doctor or give it more days to recover?
