A dull, throbbing pain behind your ears coupled with a stiff neck is often related to muscle tension, poor posture, or strain in the neck muscles, which is why Moov gel and heat packs offer temporary relief. While it is usually not a serious condition, persistent symptoms deserve a professional evaluation to rule out any underlying nerve irritation or joint issues. Please try to maintain good posture and avoid straining your neck. If the pain worsens, or if you develop a fever or dizziness, please consult a doctor for a physical examination.

For temporary relief, you can try over-the-counter pain relievers like Ibuprofen (an anti-inflammatory) or Acetaminophen. Applying a topical pain relief gel containing diclofenac to your back can also help. However, back pain triggered by standing and sleeping can point to underlying issues like muscle strain, disc degeneration, or spinal stenosis. Medication only masks the symptoms temporarily. I highly recommend consulting a healthcare provider or a physical therapist to find the root cause. Please seek immediate medical attention if you experience any numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain radiating down your legs.

Your symptoms, particularly the limited movement and nighttime pain, are quite characteristic of a condition called adhesive capsulitis, commonly known as 'frozen shoulder,' or possibly a rotator cuff issue. These conditions are very common and highly treatable. For temporary relief, warm compresses or over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen may help. Please consult a healthcare professional or a physical therapist for an accurate diagnosis and a personalized recovery plan.

While Moov spray, which contains pain-relieving ingredients like methyl salicylate and menthol, can be helpful for simple muscle strains in your shoulder, I advise against using it on your chest. Tightness and pain in the upper chest and left shoulder should always be evaluated by a healthcare professional first to rule out any serious conditions, even in young adults. Please seek a medical evaluation to ensure your safety before applying any topical treatments.

The shooting pain from your wrist to elbow suggests tendon inflammation or mild nerve irritation from lifting heavy. While topical creams like MOOV offer temporary relief, the tissue needs real time to heal. I highly recommend resting your arm and completely avoiding bicep exercises for a couple of weeks. Applying ice packs and wearing a supportive forearm brace can help. You might also consider a brief course of an oral anti-inflammatory like ibuprofen. Please consult a physical therapist or doctor for a proper evaluation and a safe return-to-play plan.

Since the pain has only lasted two days and only occurs during running, it is likely a mild muscle strain. You do not need an X-ray at this stage. Most minor strains improve with a few days of rest, gentle stretching, and continued use of Moov. If imaging is ever needed in the future, a digital X-ray is generally preferred over standard for its clearer images and lower radiation. For now, try to rest from running. If the pain persists or worsens, please consult a doctor.
