What Causes Stiffness And Pain In The Neck?

I was having hyperthyroidism sometime March this year, after a few months medication on carbimazole 5mg prescribed by my doctor, since my last blood test result in Oct, 2011, my condition has gone back to normal, the TSH, T4, T3 all gone back to normal range, but advised by my doctor to continue with 1 tablets of carbimazole daily till Jan 2012, thereafter to do another blood test... On the other hand I have been having stiff neck with pain though not really severe by irritates me & I can t concentrate properly in my daily jobs, get agitated easily at times... to overcome my stiff neck problem, my husband advised me to consume omega 3 fish oil for inflamation to ease pain), Vitamins B1, B6 B12 for nerve function, after consuming these for about 2 mths I felt better, but still at times recurred , wonder it is wise to consume ginkgo billoba and L-Arginine which will also helps in blood circulation and arginine to helps produce nitrate oxide for the flxibility of blood vessels....and since as informed I am currently still taking carbimazole (for thyroid) can I consume all the above ? Pls advise

Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

The symptoms seem to be related to muscle spasms in the neck.
I suggest using a muscle relaxant such as Baclofen three times a day.
I suggest using warm compresses for local application.
I also recommend to take a magnesium supplement along with the supplements that you have already taken.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
