I slept on my neck wrong and now I've got a crick in it

[Pike]

How do I get it to go away? Share your best methods.

[Jinx]

I'll come rub it for you. :smug:

[Bunny]

Stab yourself in the neck until you no longer have a neck.

[Shlup]

Put a heating pad on it.

[Raistlin]

I have chronic headaches from neck tension, so I have a habit of cracking my neck a lot, which helps some. Also hot showers.

[Shorty]

Stretch it out, babe!

[Faris]

Massage, apply heat, stretch, and when it gets really bad a chiropractic adjustment.

I used to do this but I found over the years that it was only a temporary fix and the pain came back worse so I was better off not doing it :/

[Pant Leg Eater from the Bad World]

Sleep on your back or side, silly. Not your neck.

[Jiro]

Sleep on the other side tonight.

[Clo]

Rub rub rub!

Oh, and muscle relaxers.

And xanax and alcohol.

[Rye]

Have someone crack your back! Actually, that's probably bad in the long run, but it helps me a lot. I get a bad crick in my neck each day because of my terrible reading posture at work.

[NorthernChaosGod]

Stop being weak. :colbert:

[yukina]

Gently stretch the muscles. I emphasize the gentle because some of my patients assume a stretch would mean pulling on the muscle like there's no tomorrow. You can apply a heating pad to relieve the pain and to loosen the muscles up a bit.

[Sephex]

Play Civ until the neck feels better.

[blackmage_nuke]

Sleep on your back tonight and try to wake up with a jolt, it should crack back into place.

[Pike]

Man you guys, this crick is still there! I don't know what I did the first night to get it this way xD

[Zeldy]

Ive somehow slept on my leg funny and I spent all last night limping around work, it's still acheing now. It's so embarrassing.
