What Causes Extreme Neck Pain While On Naproxen?

I am suffering from extreme neck pain. Diagnosed as muscle spasms. Took steroid pack. Then nine days, so far, of muscle relaxer and Naproxen. Gets better and then seems to tighten again and as bad as ever. Also using heat and ice. Have no idea what to do. 74 years old. Seemed to start after sleeping wrong a few months ago and then became almost unbearable.

Hi
Thanks for asking the question.

In muscle spasm you take Tablet Chlorzoxazone 12 hourly. As it is prescription drug you need to take it by GP prescription only. Besides hot fomentation will also reduce pain by increasing the blood circulation.
