Stiff neck since a week

2018-06-02 12:51:47
Hi, I sprained myself while working out n have been having a stiff neck for the last 6 days. Although the pain isn't as excruciating as the first day, muscle relaxants, oinments or hot water treatment haven't helped in alleviating the pain. Currently, the area has become sore n it also hurts while touching. What could be the reason behind it?
