What is causing pain in neck?
Patient: neck painfemale,23. my neck has been hurting for the past three weeks . I can't hardly move it and I have to turn myself all around to see things. I have tried every pain medicine over the counter, I have also tried ice and heat. I bought a memory foam pillow and that doesn't seem to help either. I have rheumatoid arthritis and I wasn't sure if it was that causing it. I also have hypothyroidism.  so didn't know if there is anything else for me to do? Doctor: This type of pain usually is a case of cervical spondylitis. You may get in touch with a physio  & learn to do cervical exercises. In the beginning you may take a medicine combination of pain killer & muscle relaxant
