Pain in neck?

I woke up feeling pain on the left side of my neck and shoulder and there's numbness in my left hand. I took Voltaren SR but it still hurts. What is happening?

Have you recently exercised or performed any manual exertion to the area? You could have a pinched or inflamed nerve. Good job taking the antiinflammatory, it may require a few days before relieved. If symptoms persist or worsen, I recommend being seen by a healthcare professional.
