put a heating pad on it, or use icy hot.

Take the hottest shower you can stand, take two aspirin and lie down with a hot pack or heating pad on your neck or forhead depending on where it is hurting the most.  Definitely see a doctor and get a prescription: Relpax, Imitrex etc.

Yes, see a doctor or a chiropractor.  Numbness is often a sign of nerve problems, and problems with your neck can bother the nerves.

Go see a chiropractor. There are many types of headaches that are cervicogenic (come from the neck) in nature.\n\nTry this pressure point exercise to see if it helps!\nhttp://healthfultips.blogspot.com/2004_06_01_healthfultips_archive.html

welllll, i don't specialize in neck or head aches per se, tho' they can both certainly be caused by tooth ache...\n\nHere's the deal - The dentist removed the nerve of the tooth, so IT doesn't hurt anymore, however, prior to doing so, it's possible the dead infected nerve may have caused an abcess at the base of the root.  The swelling and infection therein (think expanding object in contricted space) is what MAY have initially caused the other pain and aches.    That infection will resolve subsequent to the removal of its source, but you could certainly still have soreness.\n\nI'd personally recommend 400-600mg of ibuprofen every 4-6 hrs.\n\ngood luck!

your back is tense and stress will add to the pain too.  you need to stretch the muscles out and put ice on it. slowly put your head from one side to the other and gently stretch for 25 seconds. repeat on the other side.  take some tynelos or ibuprofen if it does not go away. ice helps too.   hope you feel better!

First are you drinking lots of water and do you have enough potassium in your diet? If so though I would try ice packs around the neck for about 10 minutes.

try using a heating pad or taking a hot shower. If this still persist, see a Chiropractor ASAP.

A chiropractor fixed mine. Setting down makes it worse, so avoid this. Use a lumbar pad to relieve the pressure on your back. This was about twenty years ago. Still good.

is there a free clinic  near you so you can go see a doctor? i would try to do some relaxation techniques or yoga type stretches. Shoulder shrugs- raising your shoulders up and holding and releasing and bring them down and hold- as well as neck rolls with holds may help. if you cna go online maybe check out a yoga website for tips on helping neck pain. One such site is www.yogajournal.com. I just looked for you and am copying the link here: http://www.yogajournal.com/practice/529_1.cfm. \nIt begins like this: \nJudging from the complaints of my physical therapy clients, chronic neck tension is a modern American epidemic. Even the more benign consequences—the painful crick in your neck, the dull headache radiating from the back of your skull—can be mighty annoying. The more serious ones, like pinched nerves, arthritis, and damaged discs, can be debilitating. Fortunately, yoga can do wonders for neck problems while simultaneously teaching safer, healthier posture habits. But some of the poses that can help you, like Sirsasana (Headstand) and Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand), can also do harm if performed incorrectly. It's important to approach them with knowledge of proper alignment.\n\nLet's take a look at the muscles of the back of the neck. Why do they cause so much trouble, and how can we use yoga to help them function better? The primary muscles of the back of the neck are the levator scapulae, which extend from the cervical (neck) vertebrae to each inner upper scapula (shoulder blade). Lying on top of the levators and also inserting on the shoulder blades are the upper trapezius muscles, which originate on the base of the skull and the neck vertebrae. Together, these muscles lift the scapula and backbend the neck. The levators and trapezius muscles also help to turn the head and sidebend the neck.\n\nThe stress of a busy lifestyle with deadlines, difficult people, and lack of sleep certainly tightens neck and jaw muscles. A forward head posture is also a factor for many people. An average head weighs 12 to 15 pounds; when that weight sits forward of the central line of the spine, the muscles on the back of the neck have to work very hard to hold the head up against the pull of gravity. Whether due to stress or poor head-neck alignment, chronic tightness in the levator scapulae and the upper trapezius can lead to significant neck pain. As the muscles pull down on the base of the skull and upper neck, they also pull up on the scapula. All this adds up to compression on the cervical vertebra. Such tightness and compression can lead to arthritis, cause nerve pressure that makes pain radiate down the arm, and increase the likelihood of neck muscle injuries. \nHope this helps.

It could VERY WELL be that you are not drinking enough fluids ( especially water ).  This is ONLY taking into account that you are not exerting yourself too much ( working out, sitting or sleeping in a weird position, etc ... ).  Your muscles and joints need proper lubrication and water is the best solution.  Check out a book called something like, Your Body's Many Cries for Water. Good Luck, I know the feeling of neck and shoulder pain.  Always check with your HealthCare Practitioner before starting any kind of regimen.

Your muscle retains "memory".\nIf you slept on your muscle wrong, you try to straighten your neck out and it wants to snap the muscle back to prevent it from injury. And that HURTS!\nThe best thing to do is use heat/ice and slowly, very slowly, rotate your head from side to side, and up and down flexions, to stimulate that muscle and get it back to normal, usually a day or so. And take aleve or some Ibuprophen for pain.
