What Causes Severe Pain And Stiffness In The Neck And Shoulder?
Hello. I ve been having sever neck/shoulder pain and stiffness for about 6 weeks now and my doctor (a Neurologist) could not figure out what it could be. Pain killers don t help with the pain. I even went to get a massage and it didn t help - I even felt more sick and achy afterwards. The pain is accompanied by severe fatigue and malaise. The pain is so bad that I can t take it anymore. Do you have an idea what that could be and where I could turn for help?

Hello,
Your symptoms seem to be related to spondiloarthrosis. I suggest doing an X-ray of the neck for further evaluation. Meanwhile, I suggest using Voltaren gel for local application. I also suggest using Voltaren tablets three times a day.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
