I twisted my neck - Is there a quick fix?!
Question: I've twisted my neck in a similar way a while before.. guess it never healed up. Whilst doing some actions today, I hurt the side of my neck again. It's quite painful. I have to lean my head to the right to ease some pain. Whenever I turn my head or look up or lean to the left, it'll hurt. I also can't lie down on my pillow as this will hurt the neck and the pain is unbearable.
Are there any quick fixes?
Thanks.. it's 2am here and I just can't get to sleep with this damn neck.

Yeah I've been there. I had to tighten my helmet strap and pulled that muscle right before I had to rappel! Take some Motrin IB and really try not to move it. Unfortunately this is the "quickest fix" for that problem.
try sleeping on two or three pillows, stacked one on top of the other to give your neck stability. All I can recommend is doing some neck exercises. Move your neck up and down and to the sides repeatedly until you can feel the pain start to ease.
Make sure you visit a physiotherapist tomorrow or asap
if this is really toublesome that it interferes with your daily tasks, you might want to visit your doc and he/she might precribe flexeril or soma. most likely flexeril, also some physical rehab. But as for a quick-fix, flexeril is your best bet.
