What Causes Tightness In Neck Muscles?

Hi, my neck feels tight in the muscles at the front, I also feel tightness in my throat and difficulty swallowing, this has been getting worse over the past few weeks. My throat gets sore at the end of the day, particularly when reading books to the kids.

It looks to me that you are having neck muscle spasm. I would suggest you :
1. Tablet Myoril daily
2. Tablet Diclofenac twice daily and Volini ointment
3. Hot water fomentation
4. Avoid using very high pillow and keeping your neck in same position for long time.
