I must have slept crucket last night because my neck is killing me right now on the left side, on the back. I know its a musle from inside but it really hurts when I try to tilt or turn my head to the left. How can I calm the pain down? I already took a pill for pain but it didn't help. Can I use one of those heat wraps that are on the commercials, to calm it down?

This happens to me twice a year. Use ICE for the first couple of days. Do not use heat or it will make it worse.Also, ibuprofen helps a little.

Talk to a doctor about your pain, or even better, go in for an appointment if you can.
As for the heat/ice thing...different pains need different remedies, and the wrong one can cause the pain to continue longer than it needs to. If you can't go in for the doctor's appointment, I'd ask the specific question of heat vs ice, and how long to keep it on.
Hope you feel better soon!

Hot shower, loose stretching, hot pack, etc. Any of those should help.
