Neck pain

[Neil]

Ok ever since last night my neck has been killing me, i can hardly move it. Every time i do move it the bottom of my neck just kills. it's hard to describe the pain but is there anything i can do to relax it and maybe make it better?
Ice pack, massage, bath?

Thanks for the help :good:

Best thing would be to massage it and to just let it heal up.
I remember having neck pain like that it sucks

R = Rest
Resting an injured area is necessary to allow the body time to get the effects of the trauma under control and avoid additional stress and damage to the injured tissue. The period of rest required will vary depending on the severity of the injury (e.g. days to weeks). People who do not rest an acute (sudden or traumatic) injury can prolong the inflammation period and increase the healing time required, thereby delaying the recovery.

I = Ice
Ice applied promptly to an injury can slow down or minimize some of the inflammation. The cold causes a closing of the arterioles in the tissue, which reduces the bleeding. The local tissue metabolism slows down reducing its need for oxygen and nutrients, and the nerve impulses are slowed considerably to reduce the pain that's felt, providing a numbing effect.

Examples of ice treatment include using an ice bag or ice bucket for 15-20 minutes or ice massage for 7-10. Heat should only be applied after you are sure that the bleeding and swelling has stopped completely; otherwise, an individual's recovery time will be delayed.

C = Compression
Compression is an application of an Ace Bandage or similar item around the injured area. Its purpose is to help control swelling and to provide mild support.

Any wrap should be applied carefully. Too tight a bandage could constrict or interrupt vital circulation to the area.

E = Elevation
Elevation involves raising the injured area above the level of the heart as much as possible. This position promotes the lessening or elimination of swelling through the use of gravity and lymph drainage system.

RICE! oh man casper awesome, how did i forget about that?
Thanks man. I'll try it tonight and see if i get better tomorrow.

[Swartz]

I get these every once in a great while from sleeping wrong or whatever and never even bother to "treat" it. I just wait for it to go away after a few days.

It's not a big DEAL, NEIL.

[Neil]

It is when i'm a pussy and can't handle pain.

[anfeyd]

RICE will do nothing, as Swartz says, stop being such a girl.
