What Causes Stiffness And Pain In The Neck?

Good Morning, For about 6 months I have had a stiff neck. It is much worse at night and in the mornings, and tends to be on the left side of my neck. I don t have any other problems such as tingling of the arms, numbness or anything like that, just a stiff neck which is very painful at times.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

After reading your condition , I think that you are suffering from a condition called cervical spondylosis. In this condition there is initially only pain in the neck and is worsened during change of posture. For this I suggest pain killers ,muscle relaxants and exercises to strengthen your neck muscles. X rays of the neck are required to confirm the diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
