Neck and shoulder pains?

Question

what can cause them? I get them probably every other day, usually when i get up, but often later in the day too. I've tried different pillows etc.

It tends to occur in my upper shoulder and along one side of my neck (usually the right). It lasts for several hours.

if it helps, I'm a 6'2" 18 y/o male who.

Answer 1

maybe your neck and shoulder are just tense in general and in need of some gentle exercise.

have you tried yoga or pilates before?

Answer 4

Check your pillow: not over 2 inches thick? Your neck should not be bent outside the spinal 'line' when you are sidelying. How about your arms? Keep them down.

Keep your computer screen slightly below eye-level & don't sit too close to movie screens (don't look up much).
