Question: I've been having upper back, shoulder, and neck pain that's been lasting going on two weeks now it's mainly worse in the mornings but feels sort of like a stiff neck I was told it was muscle spasms and then taking excedrin and used a hot pack last night and seems to have got worse any info?
Brief Answer:
Spine problem can be the case.
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Your symptoms can by caused by muscular pain indeed. Especially if you have been staying in one position for a long time (like long work at the computer). However muscles pain should go away within a week or so. If not, spine disc problem can be the case. From your description there can be a problem in cervical area.
It would be good to consult orthopedist and consider spine MRI. In a meanwhile you may try some physical therapy and muscle relaxing (pool swimming is a good idea).
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
