Achy Neck

[milly143]

I've got any achy neck, like you get if you sleep badly although it's only come on in the past couple of hours. Any suggestions other than painkillers to help get rid of it?

Ibuprofen
Ibuprofen gel
Cold compress

I've got the same thing milly. Sometimes one of those warmers you put in the microwave helps although I've been told a cold compress is better than hot. Anyone help out there ? Ouch ..

Make a small cotton bag of sand and microwave it for 1 minute, hold it to you neck for 10 minutes x 2 per day.

Alternate hot and cold compresses.
