Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I have severe pain in my upper back that radiates to my right jaw and gives me a headache.

Kindly help.

Answered by Sreenivasa Rao

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Thank you for your query.

I understand your concern. In my opinion, your pain is due to a neck issue that could have originated due to faulty posture or the wrong position of the neck while sleeping. I suggest you to follow a few instructions mentioned below.

  1. Use ice packs frequently on your neck and the upper back.
  2. Practice gentle stretching of your neck extensors.
  3. Maintain proper posture and avoid any activity that keeps you looking down for a long time.
  4. Gently massage your neck and shoulders.
  5. Practice mild mobilization exercises like neck retraction and stretching of traps, neck bending, sideways stretch, etc., which can help you feel better.

I hope this has helped you. Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
