Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent pain in upper neck. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like poor posture , working for too long without changing position , arthritis , osteoporosis , fibromyalgia or cervical spondylosis . I would suggest you give proper rest to your neck , apply ice pack on your neck , do some stretching exercises and take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain . If condition doesn't get well then consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan or x-ray to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant along with anti inflammatory and recommend physical therapy .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
