If you are 40 and above or around the age of 35-40, then you are most likely to have suffered from degeneration of the bones which eats into your nerve henceforth irritating it...Originally posted by borntolive:hmmm got this prob..my neck kinda stiff....turing my head is also straining...feels as though some muscle is pulling it..any of u got such prob?

If you are younger than that, in your 20-35, then most likely you have been sitting and repetitively doing an action for a long period of time, e.g. turning your head, bending your head up and down, sitting in front of the computer after coming back from strenuous work or repetitive exercise...
Take some panadols or aspirins, or some muscle relaxant gels and you would feel better in aobut 4-5 days time... -
hmmm ok ..that means no big deal?..but i do exercise my neck..

Now still painful rite? Just relax first, make sure your pillow is comfortable enough, not too soft and not too hard, keep to one position when you sleep, don't turn here turn there...Originally posted by borntolive:hmmm ok ..that means no big deal?..but i do exercise my neck..
Muscles need to relax after a hard day's job... Exercise is important prior to doing something that requires a lot of neck muscles in action... -
Could be meningitis. Better see a doctor.

But that's a gd one

Normally:
take a panadol
take note of your pillow and sleeping position,
take note of your sitting/standing postures
And massage your neck with some oils that generate a light heating effect, do not over exert like some prevsious fellow I advised and bruise your neck.
You pulled/strained your neck muscles only. Do not worry. Unless you had a big tumour growing out of your head causing excessive strain... kidding -
That is also a possibility...Originally posted by cornyfish2000:Could be meningitis. Better see a doctor.
Look out for symptoms of fever, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, lethargic, loss of appetite, headache, rashes in the skin that blanches on pressure, or if you look into the mirror, both your pupils are of irregular size (notifying an increase in your brain space as a complication from meningitis). -

Is there any pain on bending down with your knees straight? If there is, it is most likely a slipped disc (this often happens in between 20-30 years old). This is self limiting and 90% of people suffering from this illness will be fine after 1-2 weeks of rest and analgesics.Originally posted by sinicker:i am 18yrs old. when i study, say for 1.5hrs, my back hurts.. i've done standing up and stretching.. putting a cushion on the back. what shud i do?

If the pain persist, it may be a postural problem. Change your posture according to your working environment. Sit up straight on a chair and don't hunch forwards or lift up your legs and put it on the table. Stretching and standing up for a few minutes will help. Don't put a cushion, as it is soft and allows you to give up the straight position you will maintain hence deviating your attention to a relaxing position.
If it goes away with activity and comes with rest, this condition is probably inflammatory and you would like to access for symptoms of blurring of vision, shortness of breath, pain over the heels and pain over the buttocks. -
see doc. Why did you even wait so long.Originally posted by borntolive:lol strain n pull for so long ? have this prob for bout5 mths liao..anywayz thks guys
