Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM,

Understanding . As per your query you have neck pain and you are allergic to NSAIDS . Well it is very important to find out the exact cause of neck pain and correct it . Neck pain can occur due to may reasons like muscle strains , nerve compression , Injuries ,diseases, cervical spondolysis and Certain diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis .
