Same here. I take 2 Aleve in the morning and 2 again at night if it gets cramped and then painful. My posture has always been poor and I think that has a lot to do with it. I know to stretch and move my shoulders around. Right now as I'm sitting here I can feel pulling on one side from hip to neck. Computer work doesn't help it any, that's for sure.
My best friend this past year has been my heating pad!!
It sounds as if you know what to do to limber yourself up, though.
Take care.
