First of all, depending on how you got this injury, be very careful to any injury around the neck. If it's just a stiff neck or pulled muscles then a very hot, moist, towel around the neck helps but so does a long soak in a HOT tub of water with water up to your neck. Be careful though as you position yourself in the tub. Most creams that say they relieve muscle aches are just mental tricks. The moist heat of a bath, shower, or hot moist towel does more wonders than any smelly creams. Last, as hard as it is not to do, don't be moving or twisting your neck around but keep it as still as possible and in one direction or position.

I would try icing it first. Ice it for 20 minutes on 10 off. You can also buy Deep Cold or any other cold cream as well. If you can, go see a Chiropractor for some adjustments and further advice.

Time. In the meantime, a warm compress and pain relievers or muscle relaxers.

You need a hot bag of whole feed corn or rice. Go grab a clean tube sock & fill it up with rice, tie it off or sew it shut, & microwave it for a min. per cup of rice. You will feel better soon!

A gentle massage, maybe some aspirin, and when you feel loosened up again roll your head around and stretch a bit.
Good luck!
