    Cold compress usually works :confused: I think. Anyway try to immobilise your neck if possible.

    Also some iboprufen wouldn't go amiss :) hope you feel better soon :thumb: I know how much a bad neck can hurt :(

    Ibruprofen will work because of the anti-inflamatory properties of the drug (its a NSAI).

    However if you are in serious pain and have pulled a muscle you might want to get down to your doctor. They will probably prescribe something stronger, either Voltarol or Tramadol, both of these are in the same group of drugs but are stronger.

    If you dont feel its serious enough to go to the GP though you might want to try Neurofen Max, these are 200mg Ibruprofen and 12.8mg codine per tablet and are pretty effective.

    :yes: I agree with everything here, except I heard to use warm compresses or a heating pad or hot water bottle, but other wise, everything else seems to be right.


    Hope your neck feels better really soon.
