Can’t figure out what’s wrong with my neck and back

[sara]

My back & neck killing me since like last week I don't know what's going on. Every morning when I wake up stiff like a board and by night its worse if I sit too long.
‎
‎I feels my muscle are stuck when I make ve my head to right. I used heat pad which helped me a bit relaxing but soon pain back. Its hurts me when I bend my body to down and pick something.
‎
‎Do I need a doctor or just rest it out?

‎It sounds just sleeping wrong could be pinched never or pulled muscle. Try ice instead of heat pad alternatively. Its also good and also check your posture of sitting too long wrecks your neck and back. I will suggest you don't ignore it. I hope it will help and goes away.

‎A week is such a long time to stiff like that. Heat is good and ice pack good too for 15 minutes. Stretching is also helpful but generally not forcely. Rub with Diclofenac gel could be calm it down.
‎
‎Some herbs are observed like ginger tea for natural anti-inflammatory, Epsom salt bath helps to muscles relaxing. You must check to doctor if it's not going to better in next few days.
‎
‎Does it ease up after moving around or just stays bad all day?

Sounds like more than just a bad night sleep man. I had same thing after a strain and it didn’t just go away. Might be pinched nerve or muscle lock. Sometimes massage or chiro cracks help, sometimes you need real anti-inflammatory meds not just heat. Try gentle moves don’t push it too hard. If it keeps getting worse get it checked before it turns serious. Do you feel any tingling or numb in arms too?
