Pain

[Lily2811]

I've had upper back pain going into my neck and the base of my skull for 2 days now. Its really getting me down. I've taken codeine, paracetamol and ibuprofen and it hasn't really helped. I've tried hot baths to loosen up the muscles. Any suggestions welcome.

When I have this, I gently squeeze my shoulders either side of my neck to relieve the pressure. Popping sounds mean it's working.

I do cat stretches plus trigger point message with a ball - attempt both very gently at first. I see a private physio to loosen me up when needed... A bit pricey but essential for me. Also check your posture at work etc and when using your phone. Hope things improve soon.
