I am experiencing severe neck pain and stiffness. Despite using Volini gel and a massager, I am not getting relief. What oral pain relief or muscle relaxant tablet would you recommend?
For severe neck pain and stiffness, an oral anti-inflammatory medication like Ibuprofen can help reduce pain and swelling. To address the stiffness, a muscle relaxant such as Cyclobenzaprine or Baclofen is highly effective. Alternatively, a combination of Paracetamol and Thiocolchicoside is often prescribed. Please temporarily stop using the mechanical massager, as aggressive vibration can worsen muscle spasms; try a gentle warm compress instead. Since muscle relaxants can cause drowsiness and require precise dosing, I strongly advise consulting a healthcare professional for a physical evaluation and a safe, personalised prescription. Rest your neck as much as possible.
