What Causes Back And Neck Pain After Exposure To Cold Temprature?
The weather was so hot I slept on the floor with aircondition and fan on. I get sore back when I get up. Then last night I went to my friends house, she had very cold aircondintion on and this morning the pain on the sore back seems to move up my neck and my neck is extremely sore, have I caught a chill? Please help. Thanks

Hi,
Yes you have got chill but initially the pain in your back was because of sleeping on the floor which lead to stiffness in your muscles. Secondly the pain in your neck was because of excessive cold. There is a general advice with every air conditioner that do not sleep directly in front of the air conditioner for prolonged duration.
Also if the temperature is too low you need to protect yourself with appropriate sheet. Having a hot water bath or hot packs on the painful areas of neck and back will relieve you from the symptoms. Also I would advise you to sleep on a well cushioned mattress rather than on the hard floor otherwise there is nothing to worry.
Hope this helps you to cure your neck pain. Let me know if I can assist you further.
