have a curvature of the spine and the last few days ny neck has been hurting.

I think its because of late nite studying/late nite computer work.

Anyone no of any natural ways to help my neck?

Thanks!

Moist heat. Wet a small towel in hot water, wring it out and place it around your neck for 20 minutes replace as towel cools. Also apple vinegar is supposed to help sore muscles. Rub it in where it hurts.

I strained my neck in a car accident and the hospital-grade therapy pillows aren’t giving me enough support so my neck ends up cramped if I’m sitting upright for more than an hour. I’d like to get a neck cushion that I can wear to support my head and keep my pain down, any suggestions?

I would reccomend a u shaped pillow for you if you are going to be sitting upright for more than one hour. These neck pillows are often known as "travel pillows"- because they are great for while you are on an airplane.

I woke up two mornings ago and had a hard time getting up as I feel like I slept on my neck wrong.Yesterday it was so bad it was hard to get around. I don’t have a fever or any other symptoms. The pain is in the middle back of my neck and radiates to my shoulders. Both shoulders are extremely tight right now! I plan on going to dr tonight after work, but any solutions temporarily? I need to make it through the workday.


It could be that you did just sleep on your neck and shoulders in a bad way. However, it is also possible that you hurt a disc while sleeping. Strangely enough, I actually had 3 discs in my neck crushed while I was sleeping! (seems my husband had grabbed my pillows out from under my head as he slept, just crushing my discs……..like a bad Whiplash). I am interested in learning if your arm feels any discomfort or numbness, and if your thumb, or fingers feel strange to you. If the pain continues, do get checked. I was nearly paralyzed for life, because I couldn’t understand how my discs could possibly be crushed! (they were sitting all crushed at the front of my throat!)

I am recently suffering from neck pain. It is on my left side and the pain is in my neck ap to the left side of my head. It was like this yesterday but im having problems sleeping. I recently used ear drops to get rid of wax. Could this be an ear infection? What should i do because paracetamol doesn’t seem to be working. (teenager)

Sounds to me like you may have strained a muscle in your neck. I had the same problem about two weeks ago. Woke up every morning with a massive headache shooting all the way down the right side of my neck and down a few inches into my shoulder blade. From the base of the right side of my skull.

Ibuprofen for a few days, some mild heat while you are awake, some simple stretches you can find in a snap on Y!Search, and you should be ok in a couple weeks.

BUT, please go see a doctor just to be safe, and as soon as possible if it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. I am in no way a professional, just offering some advice…

Hopefully it was at least helpful.

Cheers and Happy Holidays
