OK. so after driving 6 hours straight, I began to experience a pain in my neck as if I slept on it wrong?

So thinking I just overexceded my neck muscles, I took some pain relief and an icy hot pack, tigerbalm and ice and a heat pack the pain is still there but now a little futher down, to the base of my neck. Its not unbearable pain but very annoying and uncorfortable, occasionally it will send a shooting pain but that has only been a rare and I mean rare occasion. Other than going to a chiro, does anyone have a suggestion releave the painand pressure. What could it possibly be? sTRESS?

I had something similer happen to me after a long trip. I found out that I was clinching my jaw and that is what caused my pain. Sometimes when we are tired and under stress we tense our muscles. I suggest some muscle relaxers and anti-inflamatories. It should clear up in a day or two.
