Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Welcome to HealthCareMagic.com I am Dr.J XXXXXXX Anto Bruno Mascarenhas, and I am here to help you. I have read your question with care and understand that you have stiff Neck

Stiff neck can be due to Many Reasons
The most common of these are

1. Cervical Spondylosis. This is degeneration (wear and tear) of the bones, joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles of the neck. This can cause stiff Neck. Diagnosis involves Clinical and Radiological Examination

2. Meningeal Irritation. Irritation of Meninges (the coverings of brain and spinal cord) also can produce stiff neck. To diagnose this, we need Clinical Examination and Plain CT Brain and even CSF Analysis

3. Sprain can also cause Stiff neck

Management of Stiff neck depends on the cause of it. For now you can use Salonpas spray for local application

In Short
To properly diagnose Stiff neck, Clinical Examination is needed

Hence I request that you consult your Neurosurgeon at the earliest.

Hope you found the answer helpful.
Best Wishes for Speedy Recovery

Take care.
