I can't turn to the right :(

Take a kitchen towel or hand towel and warm it up in the dryer, microwave, over the bathroom heater, or something like that. Place the warm towel on your neck and enjoy! Trust me it helps you feel tons better very quickly. If you also have very big rocks you can put these in a crockpot, warm them up then put them in a towel, wrap the towel around your neck. These are two methods to getting that neck to feel better! I've had that kind of neck pain before and it isn't fun but this should get rid of it quickly! If not, go see the doc!

Hiya TG, Have woken up before after sleeping in a wrong position although I did not know why either perhaps a bad dream or a good dream. I usually have a hot shower and that shifts most of it and massaging very gently around the area but not right on top of the pain. It usually moves it in no time. Failing Hot Showers and Hot compresses if it does not shift then I would try one of those sprays you know like Ralgex that has pain killer properties in it. If that don´t work you would have to see the Doctor to see what he can do. Probably just a bad posture has triggered it off that´s all it does go sooner or later but it is painful I know. Get better soon.xxx

Hopefully by now, things are better for you and you are able to move again. Sometimes it could be something like a pinched nerve, or sleeping wrong but when the pain continues to get worse, this could be reason for concern. I would consider if it is still bothering you to get it checked out to make sure it is nothing serious, or check with someone for a Good deep massage of that area, or try and get an apt with a chiropractor somewhere.

Stiff neck! I have never actually experienced that but i remember my elementary classmates writhing in pain and was crying because she couldn't move her head. I think warm compress would help and then little by little just turn to the left but you have to do this slowly. Others would just snap their head but the pain would be excruciating. HOpe you'll be able to move your head soon.

I also had this before. Just let it be. You will felt better another day. Otherwise, you need to see a docter.( maybe the problem is not just caused by sleeping.)

stiffneck takes time to get back to normal.take pain killer so that you will not feel pain and keep yourself busy to divert your attention from it.it won't take more then two days to get relief from this stiffness.get well soon

Putting heat on it should help it a lot. You can heat a towel or something and then place it on your neck. Or if you have any of the heat medicine, for muscle soreness you could use that. If it doesn't help and still continues you should see a doctor. Mine hurts a lot, but it is from arthritis.

hii, :P I sometime feel that too, but you know my mom has an idea, take your pillow on the sunlight, after it quite hot than hit your neck for three times, maybe it can relieve the pain. dont laught, me myself dont believe that either but at least we try. :)

It might be because you sleep in a funny way!! Apply tips given by other friends and it will relief the pain.The lesson, watch out your sleep position before you get to sleep!(^^)

The towel suggestion is a good one in response one. I would also recommend to take a very warm bath and relax for about 20 minutes in the warm shower. If at all possible can someone massage the neck area gently? This too can help relax the nerves and or pinched muscles. It it persists for too long say 3 days, I would go see a doctor to see if it is related to anything else.

I usually will run a hot shower on the affected area. It really does help to soothe the pain.

Yoy just need a bit of stretch, it appears that your sleeping position is not quite right. So when you are wake up you body is uncomfortable and geting ill. A little stretching of your body, then soak with warm water, you will recover soon. Good luck...

I strongly recommend that you take a visit to the doctor and let him examin you. Even though you may have slept on one side it may hurt you for a maximum of two hours. Its been way over that. It could be something serious and rather than it getting worst better get yourself treated. The reason I say this is recently I suffered from Belly Palsy Facial Paralyses. I'm doin much better now and almost recovered. I initially thoughht it was some king of a swelling on the face and will go down in a a day or two. but it did not and got worst after a day or two and then I decided to get myself examined and relised that had I not gone in time then it could have been worse. So dont wait and hope its nothing serious. Get well soon..

One of the best way to treat stiff neck is by using metholated ointment and someone should massage to it gentle to loose the tension that was being made to your neck. You should do often head exercise to avoid stiff neck and avoid improper posture when sleeping try to find your comfort position. Hope it helps

You have not been sleeping in a draughty place. Because if you have it can cause you to have a stiff hurting neck. If not I hope in another day you will be alright again. If the pain is unbearable there are painkilling pills. Having a rest lying on your back flat can also ease the pain.

For temporary relief you can apply icyhot or Iodex pain reliever. Or give hot water fermentation and see. If u have combiflam or some pain reliever that can also be taken. Take a cup of hot tea or coffee and then get out of the house for a small walk. u may be alright soon. If it still persists then consult a doctor.

Definitely take something for it and then a heating pad or something like that to put on will help a lot.
