When sitting, I encd up with a sore upper back and neck. It is very sore. It happens when I attend meetings and church. I am currently on paracetomol and tramadol. There are some meetings I need to attend but I cannot concentrate on the topic. Any suggestions, please.

    down whole spine.I use lidoderm patches or Voltaren gel.Some

    people like biofreeze but I prefer the patches.You might need to

    check your vitamin d.It makes a big difference to have the right

    levels.I know how painful this is,I hope you find relief.Can you get

    a script for pain meds or muscle relaxer? Just a thought
