You have a stiff neck do you have a heating pad if so apply it heat than cold if you don't have a heating pad use warm clothes then just us wet face clothes. Try to keep your neck steady. It will hurt for a few days. It is painful use ibuprofen.

I get these every once in awhile.

I was in a car accident years ago and still have my neck brace and I will use it. It does help.

Good luck.

Great advice. Do you think there's any chance it could be a trapped nerve? If so your advice for mumoftwo79 I'm sure would still apply.xx
