What Do Pain And Burning Sensation In The Neck Indicate?
so last night I was playing video games. When I got up to go get a drink, I felt a burning painful sensation in my left upper neck muscle. I didnt think anything of it. I took some Ibprophine figured it was just from sitting in one postion to long while playing games. today, its still there, I have used cold/hot compression, ibprophine and have even just tried to massage it out, its bugging me. on a scale of 1-10, its 9.

Hello,
It's muscle sprains due to faulty posture while playing or sleeping. Apply hot fomentation, not cold compression. Take tablet diclofenac plus chlorzoxazone twelve hourly after a meal. Avoid hard pillows while sleeping. Don't sit in the flex neck position for a longer duration.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Hiren Hirpara
