Neck and shoulder pain
Hi,
I am experiencing neck pain from past 5days.
The pain is more in seating position (It started with neck and radiating till shoulder bone) and in sleeping / standing position it is only a neck pain.
I am applying diclofenac diethylamine IP gel (2 times a day) and taking ibuprofen 400mg (2 times a day). I am getting temporary relief but its not getting cured completly. I tried neck coller (a day) but its no use.
Is it just a neck pain or pinched nerve? Should i consult doctor? If yes, is it general physician or neurophysican?
