Read todays post too and sounds like it is improving.Like others have said anti inflamatories (ibuprofen or aleve). For ibuprofen take 3 every 6 hours for a couple days. Make sure to take with food as they can sometimes be hard on the stomach. If you stay on top of it for a few days instead of waiting for it to wear off it will be more affective. Hope all goes well.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17263191567454481794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-47271356698931195482011-04-19T20:35:06.558-05:002011-04-19T20:35:06.558-05:00Judy, neck pain was part of the virus I'm gett...Judy, neck pain was part of the virus I'm getting over.

Also, you might be able to find a soft cervical collar at Wal-Mart or a medical supply house. Sometimes it helps to have that additional support until teh spasms let up. Anti-inflamatories and/or muscle relaxants are helpful.

If you take an anti-inflammatory, and you probably should, be sure to eat when you take it. I hope the pain goes away quickly. If it lingers maybe you should see a doctor and at least get an RX for a muscle relaxer.Gypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18052445200220681513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7774004683471521654.post-43172411288797002382011-04-18T20:38:44.471-05:002011-04-18T20:38:44.471-05:00I have not had a stiff neck that sounds like what ...I have not had a stiff neck that sounds like what you're dealing with.

(I say "just" - either of those is extremely painful if you are over 30). <br /><br />You are doing the right thing by applying heat. Take some ibuprofen round the clock. A light massage (even a self-administered one) will increase the blood flow, alleviate the spasm, and speed the repair.<br /><br />P.S.
