Neck stiffness
I am experiencing neck and shoulder stiffness on the left side for last 2 days. I am facing difficulty to move my neck mainly towards right side and downward. What should I do at home? How much time it takes to recover. I don't have any injury. However I was lifting items weighing approx 10  kg while marketing frequently. Please advise.
