question: Hello doctor, A couple of weeks ago, I woke up with a bad headache and a very stiff neck. It was so painful that I could not make it through a regular day without crying and intense pain. Since this time, I have been to the doctor four times and each time, they gave me more medicines. I have also been to a chiropractor four times because one of the doctors recommended it after he took an x-ray. The headaches have gone away. I suffer from headaches and this pain is so different. Now, I have constant pain in the back of my lower neck and only on the left side. The stiff neck has improved and I can manage a day but I am still in intense pain. The only medicines I am taking at this time are over the counter medicines. What do I need to do?
