Neck ache!

[nicnicnic]

What would give me really bad neck ache for no reason? It's been hurting since tuesday, and hurts so much I cant turn my head! Nothing I've taken seems to help. I havn't done anything particularly strenuous! It seems to be fine in the morning, but gets worse as the day goes on. Do any of you ever get this? thanks

Could be muscular. I had what sounds like similar. Stiffness and pain in my neck down to the shoulder and back. I had muscular, skeletal strain of the trapezeum. The muscle connecting the top of your neck to the shoulders. It can be caused by any movement which may have led to the muscle jarring / twisting etc

The doctor said hot radox baths, Ibruprofen and pain killer. (nurofen). And that it should clear up between 3 to 10 days.

do you have a heat pack - you know those things you put in the microwave?? they help soothe/relax aches and pains

Have you been stressed over something? Seems everytime something major happens to me, I get a bad neck. The first time it happened I went to the neck Dr, who told me that even sub-conscious stress can bring muscle pain on specially in the neck area.
