neck pain getting worse
neck pain? how can i stop/get rid of it?
ive been having a bad neck pain for the past 2 days. it really hurts when i look to my left, but when i look to my right i feel fine.
i think i just pulled a muscle or something, my neck feels tight. i dont feel anything in my bones, or anything deeper in my neck, so i dident break anything or something like that.
i went swimming a few days ago and felt the pain about 2 hours after i was done swimming. now its getting bad.
im using some pain releif cream to help with the pain, anything else i can do?
I have had the same problem for 2 weeks now and here’s what i did. Make sure your pillow is the right height when you sleep you don’t want a pillow that’s to tall or to flat it will bend your neck the wrong way when you sleep. Also try taking aleve its an inflammatory so it helps the best with this type of pain. Also try icing it down, i personally used a bag or frozen pea’s and laid on that for 2-3 hours and it numbed it up and helped with the pain. Make sure you put a towel between the cold pack and your neck so you don’t get frostbite. Also a massage from a professional masseuse if you can afford it is great i had one and it helped tons.If you can go to the doc try and tell them about it they may prescribe you some muscle relaxers which help alot too but they can make you drowsy so be careful. iI have a prescription of Flexirill which has helped me alot these past 2 weeks. Also i went to wal-mart and purchased a neck pillow with memory foam to sleep on and it hold My neck in the right position and helps me not twist or bend it while i sleep. I found it in the pharmacy isle with the hand held massage-rs.Good luck mines just now starting to feel better and its been 2 weeks.
