How do I get my neck to stop hurting?!


Question: How do I get my neck to stop hurting.?
I woke up today and turned my head and my neck made a sound and something is like a pretzel in there. It hurts terribly and I took a hot shower and rubbed on some muscle relaxant but I can't go to a chiropractor until monday because for some stupid reason, they're not open on Saturday or Sunday.

Is there anything else I can do to feel better.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
If you have a bag of frozen peas use that on your neck - the bag will mold to your neck shape. Or use ice but only do that for 15-20 minutes max and then again in an hour. You can alternate it with heat if that helps. Use hand massage to the area, do it yourself or ask someone for help, and you might want to try very light neck stretches to try and stretch out the muscle to help it relax. Drink a lot of water, take pain reliever and take calcium/magnesium which helps relax the muscles. Health Question & Answer
