REALLY REALLY BAD Stiff Neck!?!
Question: Hi !
This morning I woke up, and everything was fine. I went down the stairs and sat down on my couch, and suddenly my neck was in pain. I am a Christian, and I coulden't get up to go to Church! I coulden't move for literal hours, it hurt too bad. Also, I coulden't get my head off my right shoulder, too painful......
Finally I got someone to fill a bottle with hot water for me.... it worked I was still in pain but after a while I could take my head off my shoulder and move a little. This was a few hours ago. Right now I am sitting on my couch asking this question. My questions?
1. What is the cure for this stiff neck?
2. How can I remove the pain?
3. Is this a stiff neck, even?
I have taken medicine, and it isn't that killer diesease cuz I don't have a headache.....
Why did I ask if this was a stiff neck? Well, I had stiff necks before and they didn't hurt this bad, and it has gone on for at least 3-5 Hours. And my left shoulder hurts a little. Thank You!

1) use a hot pack, or a hot towel, and wrap it around your neck
2) Roll your neck SLOWLY around in a circle, and then go the other way.
This should stretch your neck muscles out, and help the pain go away. Good luck, and feel better! :)
go to the kairopracter.
Either go to a chiropractor, or crack it.
I had stiff neck last week and it hurts really bad but you gotta start trying to move it as much as you can and it will go away.......
it took about 5 or six hours till i was alright but icy-hot really helps just keep putting it constantly and keep moving it as much as you can.......
You might have a cervical disk (neck area) that is out of whack. Poor posture can also be the cause.
You might have to go see a specialist to take x-rays of your neck and an MRI. Your disk might be off since you say it's not the first time it happened to you.
It could be a degenerative cervical disk so it's important you see a Dr. to diagnose you properly.
I know first hand because I had the same problem. I couldn't get up from the couch at times and couldn't move for a long time.
Physical therapy helped ease the pain and discomfort.
I can give you some ways to ease it. You can use heat like you already have. You can put a really warm almost hot wash cloth around your neck. Leave it there for a few minutes. Then lay across your bed with your head hanging backwards over the edge. Stay there for 10 mins even though it hurts. Then sit up and use the warmth again. You can also have someone sort of pinch your trapezious muscle (between neck and shoulder) kind of lifting it up, then place a couple of fingers under that muscle while still lifting it. Then release both at the same time. It's amazing but it really works. I learned it from a massage therapist. Hope you feel better.
Awww, poor baby, we were too hardcore yesterday, naughty girl. >;)
Lol, joking. But seriously, people cant really know your condition on YA, you better get checked by the doctor if this continues to happen.
I hope you are feeling better sweetie. =P
