Stiff and painful neck
I woke up last week with an extremely stiff and painful back. It got better after a restful 2 days. Relapsed again, but pain shifted to right below shoulder. Every small movement is painful, sitting without resting head is painful. Should I go to an orthopedic and get medication or go to a physiotherapist and get it corrected?
