I have been having a stiff/tired neck for over 3 months

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have been having a tired neck for over 3 months now. The only thing I need throughout the day is to rest my neck which is hard to do as I am busy. I feel like it tired, stiff and aches. It also feel hard now compared to before when it was normal. I have done lots of research in regards to this but u can’t find the correct solution. I have even gone to my GP but most of the doctors there are useless, I want to complain to the GP as they don’t take illnesses serious. Some of my family members went to the GP in regards to an illness but what they did was so unprofessional, they laughed at their face and told them to go as there are nothing for them to do. When I researched about their illness online it was a serious illness which needed urgent medical attention.

Coming back to my neck, the stiffness and tiredness is at the back of my neck which does not affect the throat area. I believe it is getting worsen and not better, if you want more detailed explanation please let me know

    Hi I have same symptoms. Resting head on couch as I'm typing this.

    Also feels like my head is too heavy for my neck.

    It started with my neck turning to the side. Torticollis dr says. I am praying it's not.

    Drs are really useless.

    Hi all,

    I have had a stiff neck for 4 weeks and went to my GP also.  He seems to think it is just a stiff neck.  Mine will be on the left side and then the right and even more in the back.  This has continued for this long and 4 days ago my right shoulder got stiff and I can hardly move it and cannot raise my arm at all.  I went to the doctor once with no help.  I'm trying to live with it but "It is a Pain In the Neck!
