It is mostly fibromyalgia . As it geting common work from home prblms . Definately working from home put us at ease .so sitting posture is not proper many a times and their prolong neck bending or keeping it in one positions for long time under muscle tensed lead to stiffness and that lead to pain on movement of neck.
Next Steps
1.advice to take rest form work for few days. or change working style.
take break in between after 45 min . do some neck basic excersies to relieve spasm.
2. avoid prolong neck forward bending , improve sitting posture avoid taking support of elbow and shrugging your shoulder while sitting ..idea is to sit STRAIGHT.
(not now after few days of rest.)
3. hot fomentation for upper back and neck and shoulder thrice per day for 20 min for 7 days.
4. apply volini gel. thrice per day avoid massaging the area.
5. physiotherpy excersies.
- neck and shoullder rom excersies
- upper back muscle strength excersies
