Question: I have tightness in back of neck just below skull most often when reading or looking down. Symptom goes away when looking up.

Brief Answer:
Take treatment as advised

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through your question and understand your concern.

Neck pain that this age can be due to cervical spondylosis or muscle spasm.
You need to apply local pain reliever ointment.
Pain killers with muscle relaxant like aceclofenac or diclofenac with tizanidine or thiocholchicoside can be taken too.
Let me know if there are other symptoms.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
Do get back to me for further information.
