GO see a doctor fast, if you have a stiff neck or high fever with it, It is serious.

Go see your Chiropractor and fast!  You need an adjustment.  If there is something more serious going on, they'll be able to do x-rays.

neck rolls...clockwise, and then counterclockwise, and maybe some heat if needed! or try flez-all or icy hot!

sounds like it could be muscular upper lumber strain ausedby your chest. this is probably effecting your posture too. get your gp to send you for tests to rule out possible spinal problems, maybe ask to be referred to a physiotherapist to help with muscular strain and posture. get measured properly for a bra and buy a decently supporting one. this may distribute the weight more evenly.

Yes, there is obviously something wrong with you. You need to see a doctor and find out what it is. It might not be serious, but it sure seems to be uncomfortable to you. Resting isn't going to cure it after this long.

Lay down on the floor, flat on your back. Then lift your shoulders and neck forward slightly to feel your neck tighten up. Another exercise is to look forward, towards an object, keep your neck straight and lift your chin up and out, hold for a few seconds and return to normal. Do 2-3 sets of these exercises and set the reps to what you feel comfortable and suitable for your time allotted. Don't over do it or you will cause muscle strainand thats painful. But this will h elp you out with repition. Good luck.

It seems as though you have strained your neck muscles as well as subluxating your cervical vertebrae. This will take soe time to heal as s muscle strain involves the tendons. The tendons are avascular meaning without blood vessels.  As such there is no exchange of nutrients and wastes making it take longer to heal. As time passes it should get better and the pain and nausea will pass altogether. I have had this happen to me and my clients before in almost the same way.  Were you undergoing some serious stress during that time that you slept incorrectly?  I ask as it would seem to be the common denominator.  Good luck and don't do anything strenuous that would involve your neck or it will exacerbate the original injury.  Oh, btw, when the swelling completely subsides, may I suggest a series of massages to prevent any future spasms or flare ups?  It helps!

A massage.  I too sleep on my stomach and carry a lot of tension in my shoulders.  It is why I am up late tonight, woke up with a neck ache.  What I do if a good massage is not available is head down to the mall and sit in one of the chairs that give you a massage.  They are to die for girl.  :)

herb? not that im aware of. if its muscle stiffness, im sorry, if its joint stiffness you may be fine. try a magnesiun/calcium supplament, and E might help too. ive got major cartilage damage in both my knees so i know how u fel waking up stiff. also if you can get some slow release ibuprofin, that will keep any swellin own that may cause stiffness(that goes for muscle too)

Cyropracters are good for straightnening boies. You have to first access the cause of why your neck is bent? It normally works like a chain, so it could be your hamstrings, pulling your back, pulling your shoulders pulling your neck. General streching of the thights, bum, back, shouloders and neck should loosen everything up. Dont bounce when you strech though. Heidi

Registered Nurse here; Dear Steve, sounds like it can certainely be related to stress.  Ask your self these question. #1. Do you find yourself tense and tight at work, such as holding your shouldrers stiff, neck stiff, do you spend a great deal of time at a computer?  I would suggest a heating pad low temperature at night, mild heat is an excellent source to relieve and relax tense muscles.  Also try some light excericises throughout the day, such as rolling your neck back and forth, rub the back of your neck, if available have someonelse rub the back of your neck, gently, but yet firm.  If tension present you should notice relieve instant, not to say that it want return immediately.  Ibuprofen may need to be taken for several days, Ibuprofen is an non-steriod anti-inflammatory agent, and should with a few days, help the tension.  Take with food, Ibuprofen can be very irrating to the stomach, creating yet another problem.  Warm showers, allowing the pressure from the shower to massage the back of your neck for 2 to 3 minutes, should also help.  Finally, body position while in bed, proper use of pillows.  If all the above falls, should see your physician, you made need a prescription to assist you through this stressful time.  You and your Doc could best discuss what options are available and the two of you decide together what is best for you.  Speedy recover, try not to worry & be Happy!  I know easier said than done.\nThanks for the opportunity to address your question.

It sounds like you have a slightly pinched nerve.  Try hot pads on it, and an anti-inflammatory like Motrin.

dont nap in the noon after a meal, do neck rotation exercises and every morning do what is know as OIL PULLING.. ie; take a tablespoon of refined oil in ur mouth and keep rotating it in ur mouth without swallowing or spitting it out for about 15 mins.. in the beginning its very painful but its worth the effort.
