My husband was having severe back pains and complained of neck pain, had feelings of passing out, he had diarrhea, and blood pressure 88/50. He begged me not to call 911 or take him anywhere, I gave him a teaspoon of pep & milk of mag, cold compress & now he is sleeping.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have severe back pain and neck pain . Well it is very important to find out the exact cause of neck stiffness and correct it . Neck stiffness can occur due to may reasons like muscle strains , nerve compression , Injuries ,diseases, cervical spondylosis and Certain diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis .

Trapezius muscle problem can also be one of the reason. I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper diagnosis . Doctor will examine physically , ask you to do certain movements and may order CT scan . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant and may recommend specific exercises .

Acupuncture will also be helpful. For now do stretching exercises and start physical therapy of neck . Doctor may also recommend physical therapy . In severe case doctor may recommend surgery . Avoid bending forward and lifting heavy objects . Also do not work in same posture for long time .

Hope your concern has been resolved .

Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
