Hi, if your pain started suddenly and did not settle even after 20 days it might be agravated inflammation because of your wrong posture. NOTE: sitting in a wrong posture only for one day can never lead to this long duration pain. I can suspect some underlying cervical spondylosis, weak postural muscles responsible for it. you're young and shouldn't ignore your symptoms. getting right treatment on time can prevent long term injury.
Next Steps
get a consultation with us where we will evaluate the root cause and discuss the line of treatment.
Health Tips
avoid sleeping on affected side, use cervical pillow, avoid sofa sitting, take postural breaks in 30 minutes and apply hot pack for 15 mins.
