I woke up with my right shoulder near the neck area hurts. I did not mind it much since I need to prepare food for my eldest and hubby. But now they're gone and I'm a bit more relaxed, I can feel the stiffness of that area that hurts more than before now.
Right now, I have a hot compress on my right shoulder hoping that it will work somehow.
I just drink my firs coffee.

@rakski If you are experiencing pain that keeps coming back even after taking pain relievers and muscle relaxants, it is important to consult with a medical professional. It's possible that the underlying cause of your pain is not being adequately addressed by these medications, or that there is a more serious condition that requires further treatment.
Your doctor may suggest additional pain management techniques, such as physical therapy or acupuncture, or they may order imaging tests to look for underlying structural issues that could be causing your pain.
It's important to take your symptoms seriously and not ignore ongoing pain, as it can be a sign of a more serious condition that requires medical attention. So please consider seeking medical advice from a professional to help determine the underlying cause of your pain and determine the most effective treatment options.

@rakski I hope so too. I guess do you have a bath tub to soak? Epsom Salts help sooth the muscle.

Sometimes I over-stress my right shoulder/neck and it is tight and hurts. I take some Tylenol and it helps. What helps the most is when Pretty rubs that area for me to work the stiffness out.
I hope the hot compress helps.

@rakski Yeah, I thought it might. That's why my daughter usually helps me when I have a stiff neck or knots in my muscles.

I went through that right after Christmas. I was using some new bed pillows, and I realized they made my neck hurt. I ditched them and got some others, the new ones were a gift, and a brand I had never used, but when I went and purchased some other ones, I was a lot better.
I hope you are not hurting.

@rakski
I usually get new bed pillows once a year or so, it really helps promote good rest. I have terrible allergy problems and this was recommended by the doctor. He says people do not realize that dust from the air can settle in pillows and make allergies worse.
I also set them on the patio table once in a while and let the sunshine air them out, then they smell like freshly dried clothes off the line.

There used to be a cream called Relaxyl for such issues. I do not know if it is still available
