I would try a massage therapist and see how that goes.  If it still persists talk with your family doctor.  Keep us posted okay?      sara

KIM .....go treat yourself to a deep message if you look around you can get a hr for around 35 bucks it should help a bit......you may also get help from a doctor going on many of the antidepressants will help relax you it takes around 2 weeks for them to work but it may give you some releaf from this and the anxiety....stay away from the mussel relaxers that a whole nother can of worm your opening in time this stuff willl come to pass but it ruff going threw it I never thought I would get well coming off methadone it was 90 days just to Begin to feel well it was a good 6 mo b/4 I could say I was ok again and even at that I felt better at a yr clean this stuff can be tuff to kick just know once it over its so so worth it good luck and God bless.......Gnarly

Hey. Yes, I had neck and upper back for a while....it was from sitting/lying around too much. Only thing that has helped it was to move as much as possible and walk. A hot shower to get on the back of your neck will help also. Try washing your hair, that helps a lot also.

Hang tough.
