"[b][c=BF0000]Neck pain[/c][/b]
Overview
Neck pain is common. Poor posture — whether from leaning over a computer or hunching over a workbench — strains neck muscles. Osteoarthritis also is a common cause of neck pain.
Rarely, neck pain can be a symptom of a more serious problem. Seek medical care for neck pain with numbness or loss of strength in the arms or hands or for pain that shoots into a shoulder or down an arm.
Symptoms
Symptoms include:
Pain that's often worsened by holding the head in one place for long periods, such as when driving or working at a computer
Muscle tightness and spasms
Decreased ability to move the head
Headache
When to see a doctor
Seek immediate care if severe neck pain results from an injury, such as a motor vehicle accident, diving accident or fall.
Contact a health care provider if neck pain:
Is severe
Persists for several days without relief
Spreads down arms or legs
Comes with headache, numbness, weakness or tingling"
