Hello dear.
You can use tylonol or motrin(ibuprofen) tablet 400 mg (thrice daily) but not on empty stomach.
You can also use orphenadrine+para etamol combination containing tablets.
You should consult a neurosurgeon as early as possible.
You should also consult a physiotherapist to tell you some good exercises to relieve muscle spasm and the pain.
Hope it will help :-)
wishing you good health

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, as long as the pain is concern if this is the spondylosis condition of cervical spine then you can try any NSAID (Non steroid anti-inflammatory drugs ) but important is the correct the underlying cause of pain instead of taking analgesic it is not for curing the disease, the best NSAID is Diclofenac sodium hope this information helps.
