How can I alleviate upper back pain that runs across my shoulders and up into my neck?

I am sure it is tension related, and it’s been going on for days. I have tons of homework to complete before Monday – I don’t really have a comfortable place to sit and I don’t like sitting in my bed to do homework.

Is it possible to alleviate the shoulder/back pain I’m having – even if it’s only for a couple of hours it would be so wonderful. I have some naproxen, but that stuff doesn’t really do much for me.

Thanks for your help.

Is it okay to go into a hot tub if you have sciatica?

My boyfriend has sciatica but is not currently under a doctor’s care (no insurance). Is it okay for him to go into a hot tub? I’ve read it both ways. From what I gather, it’s okay to do as long as it’s not too long, and you should also make sure you should have as much cold time (a nice swim or cool shower). Any advice is appreciated.

What causes throbbing pain that originates in neck but shoots into head and eye?

I have a sharp pain in my neck that seems to “shoot” into my head. It’s like a mixture between a sinus headache and neck pain, but only on the right side of my head.

I have been in pain for more than 2 weeks. I thought it would go away, but I don’t even know what kind of doctor to go to.
