I still have some aching in my shoulder and neck. I have had it for a while. Sometimes it aches more when I lay down. Is it safe to continue the muscle relaxer for a few more days to see how I do. It's not as pain full as it was. I'm sleeping on two pillows. How should I potion my neck?

Detailed Answer:
Hi, Welcome back to HCM

Yes you can continue taking the muscle relaxants for a few more days.
If the aching persists you can go for physical therapy.
