Neck Pain
Good morning. Without knowing or performing a thorough exam, I would suggest further evaluation from your health provider. If you recently had a fever with stiffness in the neck, there maybe an infection that should be treated as soon as possible. High blood pressure with neck pain could also be due to a vascular concern and should be looked at as well. It is difficult to assess with limited information. Neck pain without any mechanism of injury should be looked at and treated with caution. It is always best to seek immediate care if you are concerned about a condition without knowledge of how it may have started. READ MORE
Back pain for 2 months
Without knowing your full health history and family history of heart disease and cholesterol. I would recommend seeing your primary physician first to help resolve any worries you may have. I lean towards the side of caution as you probably know your body best and if there are any concerns, it is best to address any serious health conditions sooner than later. Ruling out any of these conditions will only add to helping with assessing your condition and providing a better recommendation for treatment. READ MORE
