Suggest remedy for severe pain in neck
Patient: I have a pain on the left side of my neck. I have trouble turning my head to the left and tilting it back. What might this be? I had an Ultrasound on my Caratoid artery earlier this hear and my doctor said I had a 50% buildup of Hollenhorst plaque. Is this pain related to my Caratoid or something else? Doctor: hi, welcome to healthcare magic.well , i don't think this pain is related to your carotid.you seem to have spasm of your trapezius muscle( stiffness of your neck muscle)please do the following:1. support your neck by using a soft cervical collar2. do hot fomentation by a hot water bag or electric heating pad 3-4 times    a day3. take a mild antiinflammatory drug like ibuprofen or acetaaminophen4. avoid driving, reading, using too much computers or video games5. you can also use a cervical pillow for sleepingit will take 5-7 days for complete recovery.please take care.thank you
