Muscle strain for a month

Question

Asked for Male, 22 Years

Having muscle strain for atleast a month. Dont remember the cause. Affected area is upper back, next to left shoulder blade. I think its just one muscle cause the pain is not spread throughout. Pain only occurs when i move my neck to the extreme left and right. More pain when moving to extreme right.the pain has definitly reduced but just concerned because usually muscle aches dont last for a month. No other discomforts. Not taken any medication only anti inflammatory gel.i am 22 year old student. College work is stressfull, so that could be a reason for the prolonged period for recovery.

When there is a muscle pull (or strain or spasm), apart from a topical analgesic/inflammatory gel, a muscle relaxant taken orally helps faster and complete relief.
