question: I have been off work for a year and a half with lumbar spine stenosis two slightly bulging disks and sciatic pain. Two days ago I started having a stiff neck and mild headache. Pain in my shouldwe and neck started last night that is almost unbearable. I am taking arthritis strength Tylenol 1350 mg 2 times a day and 800 mg of Advil every 3 to 4 hrs. It does not take pain away. Could this be related to my lower back problems? I did not have a known injury.
