What Causes Stiffness And Pain In The Neck Along With Severe Fatigue?
I have had a stiff neck, painful, for 4 full days. I feel Fatigued and I am prone to Chronic Sinusitis. My physician gave a muscle relaxer, I cannot take at work. She stated it is probably a strained muscle. Do you have another idea of what it may be? I do not like taking the muscle relaxers and cannot work and take them.

Hello,
As a first line management, you can take analgesics like paracetamol or aceclofenac for pain relief.
If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
We have to rule out possibilities like anemia and thyroid dysfunction.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
