[Dr. Kokil Mathur]

Hi!
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems. Yes, if the stiffness is due to a bone problem then the X-ray will be able to detect it. However, if the stiffness is due to muscle strain then nothing will be caught on X-ray.
You can apply warm compress, do neck exercises and take a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory pain killer. If this does not help, then please discuss with your doctor. Take care!
