Stress is a major cause of neck and shoulder pain. Stress can cause tension in your neck and shoulder muscles that in turn leads to neck and shoulder pain.

Many people with neck and shoulder pain turn to anti inflammatory medicine to help reduce the pain. The problem with this is that the pain killers treat the symptoms but not the cause of the pain.

My advice before reaching for pain killers is to try neck and shoulder exercises.
