I'm not a doctor, but suffer from neck pain. You could have pinched a nerve or pulled a muscle. It's easy to do. You can do it in your sleep. Just put ice, or heat on it. Whatever feels better. If it doesn't feel better in a few days, call your doctor.

I have raised my keyboard as far up as what the wire will allow cause I can't put my head down and I can't turn my head to the left either. It's been 27 hours sad
I'm using Heat Rub and tylenols... I smell like an old age home
:cry:

I have to agree with Robsco.. give it another day, it may still hurt but feeling better.. if not, call your doctor. I had neck pain and put it off to long. Then I found out I had herniated discs and I have to have surgery. frown

the specific location :in front side back of the neck, is there any swelling or reddnes, is there a wound, regarding the pain is it:
contionous or remeitting
severe that u cant sleep or do your job ,, or is tolerable
is it radiate to anywhere else
what aggrevate the pain and what relief it

these are the most important Q that may give an idea about what going on inside your neck...

this might sound funny the way it happened.I was on my side and I got up really quick. It's like the upper body lifted but my head stayed down and that's when I felt the pull on the left around the back of my neck.

greyhound, try a very warm washcloth, this should help loosen the muscles up, it helps me after a game.
