Stiff Neck
Woke up this morning with a bad stiff neck...have any tips to make it go away? It's a good one if there is such a thing.

Try wet heat, and some advil. I hope it goes away before lunch!
If you lie down, put a rolled towel under your neck. It relieves the stress on those muscles.

Thanks Judy, I ended up putting a warm wet towel around my neck. It did help some, but not completely. I'm in bed again and took some tylenol so hopefully it will be gone tomorrow.

If you can take Advil, it is better for things like stiff neck because it has anti-inflammatory properties, whereas Tylenol is just a pain reliever with no anti-imflammatory action.
I bet it will be gone tomorrow. It was probably caused by tension and stress as I remember you mentioned this was a stressful week.

My stiff neck is pretty much gone...yay. Dont think I was too stressed this week....I've had worse...lol. I do think I slept with my pillows doubled and my neck was in an odd position.

I have a chiroflow pillow, which has water in a pouch under the pillow. It is heaven! My old chiropractor told me about it. You have to change the water every 6 months or so, and that's it. I also use a beanie thing under my neck when I watch TV or read. It can be microwaved too. I have something wrong in my neck, so I need these, but I would use them anyway. They are so comfy!
I'm glad your neck feels better!
