Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My neck has been hurting for over a week. I do not know how I hurt it. It started on the left back of my neck. Then a couple of days ago, the right side additionally started hurting, and now it hurts when I yawn as well. I have tried Tylenol, muscle relieving cream, heating pad, support during sleep, and gentle stretching, and nothing helps. I am currently on Kurvelo birth control, Escitalopram (Lexapro), QVAR inhaler.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Pain in the upper back to the right and left side typically originates from the trapezius muscle. This pain does not require forceful activities or jerky movement. It can occur after simple tasks too. Muscles around the shoulder and upper back muscles can be swollen. Poor posture during routine tasks leads to such kind of pain. It will be relieved by rest, gentle massage, and ice pack application.
