Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you suffering from muscular pain neck. Treatment of it is rest and analgesics (diclofenac three times a day after meals). Muscle relaxant such as thiocolchicoside can be added Vitamin B-complex and Vitamin C supplementation can used to promote healing. However you can get your cervical spine x ray done to exclude cervical spondylosis.You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries. Wishing you good health. Take care.
