Stiffness In Back, Shoulder. Solution?

hi, so basically my back and shoulder area are really stiff, they ve been stiff for a few years but recently, especially since I ve started uni (two weeks ago), the area has become even stiffer. I get my friend to crack it for me on almost a daily basis but I was wondering what else i could do to get rid of the stiffness .

Hi.
Your friend's trying to help but I think some further investigation is needed to pinpoint the cause of your worsening stiffness. A number of treatable conditions can cause this type of problem and your doctor may arrange an X-ray or blood tests. Wishing you best of luck with your studies.
Regards.
