Question: I strained my neck, it hurts alot, please help!.?
Last night I slept wrong on my neck and now it hurts REALLY bad. I have tried taking Advil, massaging it, taking a hot shower, and using a heating pad, but it's not helping much. The only other thing I can think of doing is taking a higher dose of Advil, but before I do, is there anything else I might be able to do to help alleviate the pain.?Health Question & Answer
Answers:
Other than taking prescription strength drugs, try again using hot compresses. Unfortunately, your doctor might not do anything for this. When this happens to me, the pain usually subsides in a day or two. also, like you said, try tripling your Advil, which is an ibuprofen drug, a muscle relaxant type. Good luck!Health Question & Answer
Ouch! You may just need to take it easy and keep using the heating pad and take the advil every 4 hours.
By the way, my husband's doctor told me that 4 advil is the equivalent of 1 prescription pain pill -- he advised to only take at this strength in moderation because the damage it can do to the liver.
Hope you get some relief soon.Health Question & Answer
