Pain in moving neck
Hi - I am facing pain in moving my neck. While I am facing some difficulty in sideways movement of neck, I feel greater pain when I try to tilt my neck backwards (eg: while drinking water). Suffering since last couple of days. Have not had any injury. Would you recommend any changes in sleeping/sitting posture and any SOS pain-killers? Any medicine/other steps I should follow to help me recover?
