I woke up today with the worst neckache I've had since I had whiplash in 2006. It hurts to the point that it's making me queasy, and I have a 13-hour work day ahead of me.
I didn't do anything to my neck, I don't think I slept in any weird positions - the only difference is that I didn't sleep on the heating pad I usually do because my boyfriend and I have been fighting about it. I tossed it in the closet because I was just so sick of the arguing...Anyway.
I have painkillers for a different problem, and they're helping a little, but I still feel stiff and sick.
Be careful though. Stretching should not cause you pain, just a gentle push. And the massage should also be done lightly at first otherwise you might make the problem worse.
