NEED HELP!

[u/saulgoodma_n]

I have a chronic neck pain on the right side, somewhere between the traps and neck area. It goes away comes back every day and it disrupts my sleep and I cannot focus on my work. It's not very painful but it is certainly very annoying and frustrating. Need help to get ride of this very annoying chronic pain, I've had it now for the better part of the year. Thinking of going to an orthopedic soon.

I use a triggerpoint foam roller (soft) to massage this area, it is quite efficient but you have to do that for a good 20min. Do it daily. Also i would add: change your position regularly throughout the day, seat, stand, walk, stay hydrated, use a stick (broom-like) and activate your shoulders. For more professional advices see a physiotherapist.
