What causes a "stiff neck?" (and shoulders) and what is the best cure!
Question: I took three Tylenol with Codeine and it didn't even touch on the pain. Also, I know that twisting your head fast pulling a muscle, etc can cause this. What I'm looking for is if its due to a vitamin deficiency or whatnot. I've had this stiff neck at varying degrees for about three weeks now.
Answers:
dont sit at your computer hours at a time. holding your head in the same position will kill you

Have you been exposed to meningitis? It can cause a stiff neck. It is probably just a sore muscle, maybe you are sleeping funny at night. Try putting some heat on it, and taking it easy. Good luck.

mabe if u sleep wrong in bed that could hurt it.
Go see a chiropractor. They can do wonders.
If you sleep with a ceiling fan running, you are in a slow draft which can cause stiff necks in the morning. Been there, done that, got the stiff neck. Also re-direct the air vents from the cars air conditioning. If your stiff neck seems to be all day long then I would definitely seek medical advice since it could be the beginning of a more serious illness. If meningitis is suspected, a blood test will be done. I hope you get to feeling better soon.
