If pain develops suddenly and is severe, such as from an injury ( fall) and if pain and symptoms (eg, weakness) progressively worsen you should seek medical attention.

I've been dealing with neck pain for a couple of months now. Sometimes it eases up, but then it just comes back after a few days. At first, I thought maybe it was from sleeping in a bad position. I'm really starting to get concerned. Any idea what's going on or what I should do about it?

For relief, you can try taking acetaminophen (Tylenol) 500mg every 6 hours as needed for pain. Additionally, you can apply a topical pain relief cream like diclofenac gel to the affected area 3-4 times a day. Make sure to improve your sleeping habits and maintain good posture during the day. If the pain persists, consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
