What Causes Pain And Stiffness In Neck After Suffering From Chest Congestion?
I am a 50 year old black female. I have been sick for the past couple of weeks with ear/ chst congestion. Thick mucus. The couhg has slowed down, and not that much mucus anymore. I woke up yesterday morning with a really painful stiff neck. Last night when I got home form work, and went to sleep. I woke up in pain everytime I would take a breath. It was in the neck, and in my chest. I m still in pain, and have taken ibupropen. I have also had pneumonia twice. What is wrong with me?
