Question:
How to take care of a really bad sore neck?
Answers:
You don't mention if this is a new injury or if it's a chronic problem. Ice therapy, not heat, for new injuries - heat and ice therapy if it's a chronic problem. Use advil/motrin as needed and make sure you sleep on your back. Be aware of your posture - do you lean forward while sitting on the computer or completing daily tasks? Find a chiropractor with a massage therapist on staff and make an appointment. They will first send you for xrays of the cervical spine to look for any obvious problems. Request they give you daily stretches/exercises specific to the area of the neck that is sore. Good luck.
