Stiff neck?!


Question:

Stiff neck?

I slept on my neck wrong three days ago and the pain gets worse every day. I have tried icy hot, ice and a new pillow. Nothing helps. Anyone has anything else I can try. I can't move my next to the right.


Answers:

Try putting hot moist pack on the area affected, 20 minutes is the most effective duration of heat for muscle relaxation then apply gentle stretching on your neck. If you cannot move it to the right, try bending your neck gently to the right using your right hand and look at your left side. I know its kinda hard to understand my instruction here but that is the proper way of stretching the tight muscle in your neck which is your sternocleidomastoid muscle. If the symptoms persist, try to visit a physical therapy rehab doctor. They will be able to help you with your problem.
