    I have had a stiff neck and shoulder for over 2 weeks. I dont want to go to my GP. Any solutions?

    I have had a stiff neck and left shoulder for over 2 weeks.  I also have a pain in my jaw and my ear is sore.  It could be that I am sitting incorrectly at my computer all day or that a heart attack is imminent?  Anybody had anything similar?

    I think you may be correct in your assumption but I really would recommend you visit your doctor, better safe than sorry.

    I don,t think a heart attack is imminent by the way, still better to get a check up.

    Yeah take 3 aspirins and ask again tomorrow.

    I had a similar  condition.  I spend many hours a day at the computer.   Found that I was leaning on my left arm rest constantly.  The shouder, arm and fingers got tender.  Also got a neck  pain because I had to adjust my head to makeup for the lean.  Interferred with sleep as well.  Couldn't lay on the affected arm / shoulder without pain.


    Something to consider.

    2 weeks is too long to go with in pain. See a doctor and then tell us what he said to do.............

    Spend less time on the computer. It will make you uncomfortable in the shoulders and neck.

    Sleeping or leaning on it for long periods of time will definitely do it. Is there possibly some activity you have taken up recently?

    Try a chiropractor.  You might just be surprised what they can do for you.

    At first I was fine, till you said jaw pain. You traveled up, not down. You have ear pain, jaw pain, stiff neck, and shoulder, This is not a sleep, or sitting condition. What kind of pain? Dull, sharp, acute, throbbing. This has been going on for two weeks?Do you have a fever? Does your face feel numb tinglingly, does it hurt when you open your mouth? Can you raise your arm over your head, have you lost any range of motion? When you pick objects up off the floor, is there pressure to the ear? Do you get dizzy? Does it hurt to turn your head left to right or vice versa? You left out a lot of information. How old are you? What other health conditions do you have? Do you have high blood pressure?


     You need to see a doctor now.
