The muscles in your neck will tense up to protect the joint if the joint is out of whack. Most likely warm, moist heat will help you relax your muscles and some Tylenol will help with the pain. A chiropractor probably can help you get your neck vertebrae working again, but I would talk with a MD, too. You probably have some sort of muscle imbalance that causes this and you'll want to work with a physical therapist to strengthen whatever muscles are necessary to keep it from happening again in the future.

Gotta ditto what Randy said. It happened to me twice in my life and that's a pain I wouldn't want to feel again. Ever.
First time, I was in Germany and some old dr. shot my earlobes with what I think was some kind of relaxant or anesthetic. At any rate, it took a few hours before I was able to turn my head in either direction. Years later, it happened again. (Both times when I was getting out of bed.) My Dad came over to visit and he went out to his truck and came back with a can of WD-40 spray lubricant. (You know, the kind you can get at a hardware store.) He massaged that stuff into my neck and BAM!, twenty minutes later, I was right as rain. He told me that some old man showed him the same trick for arthritic knees years before.

Put a warm towel on your neck...helps relax the muscles. You have a pinched nerve in your neck. Will stay w/you for about a day or two.

Usually if it is just muscle tension forcing your head to go slowly the opposite way of your pain is good. Sometime a hot shower will work.

It sounds like you may have a crick in your neck from sleeping wrong. You might try one of those Icy Hot Patches. They work really well.

Rub some ointment on it. It's important that (I know it hurts) you try to move your neck, it will relax your muscles.
