hi roni! ^__^ i haven't experienced something like that. but i do experience waking up and while stretching (inat-inat), pulling a muscle in the side of my neck close to the nape. usually in the right side. i hate it when it happens because i always remind myself to be careful while stretching to prevent something like that and yet, it still happens. .

lucky you, for you still have time to make inat-inat as you wake up. i always open my eyes and stand up at once... very busy wink wink. thanks for the response

ehhh.. roni! it wouldn't take too much of your time to make stretchings! you can stretch a bit before you get up. ^__^

yes I do - it doesn't happen to me often but it will affect my mood especially if I feel acute pain every time i turn my neck in the wrong angle. i guess the short term solution would be to get a massage. Perhaps from a friend who is good at these sorts of thing. Or if there is no friend easily accessible, perhaps go to the massage parlour during lunch time? The longer term solution would be to get a new pillow and determine what it was that gave you a stiff neck. And try to make sure your sleeping position is altered such that it doesn't happen anymore.

I had a stiff neck the other day and I just massage it by myself. If you have somebody with you, you can ask for help. It will ease a little, then will get well later.

I get this problem quite a few times in a week. I just do some stretching exercise or massage it myself.
