This type of pain is frequently seen in people sitting for prolonged periods in front of the computer. Regular exercise helps to build up muscles around the neck and reduce the pain.
Your doctor has already prescribed vitamin D. You should also take vitamin B12 .
There could be trigger point in the trapezius muscle.
Next Steps
Continue physiotherapy. Get in touch with some other physiotherapist who is experienced in trigger point release.
Health Tips
