Severe pain below neck
Hi, I am working in Bangalore.
From two days I am facing quite severe pain in upper back which continues toward my right hand.
It just happened accidently while sneezing (due to cold allergies I have)
I have taken for two days pain killer nad iodex massage but the pain is still same. In morning much and just after bath extreme.
Kindly suggest.
Thank you.
this is the pain due to nerve compression at the neck or cervical area.the pain occurs wherever the compressed muscle supplies.As you are a CA , so it can be one of the reason. the sitting ,table work and work on PC creates the problem and worsen it.
Next Steps
go for physitherapy..ultrasonic therapy for healing,tens for muscle relaxation and heat therapy for reducing inflammation may required+cervical traction if required . take rest. then the exercises are to be done and very much important.
Health Tips
For neck-at home..rest+hot water fomentation+application of pain killer gel..keep your neck straight as much as possible,avoid forward neckbending, weight lifting, cold exposure ,long travelling or driving, no prolonged walking/sitting.

In my opinion this is a muscular pain as it has increased after sneezing... in this there is a technique known as dry needling will work the best in conditions like this... a needle will be inserted at the intramuscular level...and there will be a muscle twitch will occur and ur spasm will get released... followed by col fermentation... in this there are instant results...if u dnt want to go for this technique then physio modalities will work u can go for ift/ US and hot pack...get well soon.. take care
Next Steps
U need to find out a physiotherapist who practices this technique
