Woke up with a stiff neck this morning. As if my day isn't hard and complicated enough. Any mylotters out there with a surefire remedy? It is getting hard swiveling my whole body just to look at something on the side.

I have done this a few times before. All I can say is keep massaging it and take some Tylenol or something like that. Though I hope it's fine by now. There was one time that I went to work with a stiff neck, my head was actually tilted to the side and I was in pain. A future job had me working with a girl who went to school for massage therapy, and she told me she used to go into the store I used to work at... I'm pretty certain she must have seen me, my head cocked to the side, lol!

Possibly! Well I hope that your neck gets to feeling better!

Haha! She must have thought that you're just like that naturally! Tilted to one side. It is a little better today, but I could still feel a little aching. What I need is a good massage. Thanks for responding.

Hello bounce, This is normal when we sleep on one side/position the whole evening. My mom told me to massage it with hot towel(hot enough for you to hold) depending your endurance. Put the hot towel on your neck,especially the worst pain area...it helps for me,i hope it will help you too. Then,never take a bath after,unless you take a bath with warm water too.

Thanks! I will try that as soon as I get off work. Or sooner if I could make a lame excuse to my boss. But does it work?!

Hmm...i get that all the time and so does my mum. But the only thing i can think of is use Voltaren cream or the tablets. I mean it does help if not i usually take some menthol balm and rub it on my neck. or try googling some stretch exercises for your neck good luck

I have been stretching it the whole morning, but I am afraid that I am just gonna make it worse.
