hey all. I just got off work and my neck is stiff and hurts real bad. I was thinking about running a hot bath and just relaxing for a few mins. Would that help or do I need to do something else?

That helps. U can also wet a towel & microwave it till it's warm & wrap around Ur neck. heating pads help too. I broke my neck in 98 so I can relate to what Ur saying. Simple exercises help too. Like turning Ur head L-R to loosin up the stiffness, also up & down but on both not 2 the point of pain. Hope this helps U.

the bath will only calm down your pain for a limited time.Try a professional deep massage. When was the last time you replaced your bed pillow or flipped your matress? If nothing works, I think you need to see a Doctor

That would help. Maybe you should also have someone rub some hot rub like ben gay or icy hot in the area of tightness. Take a couple of Motrin.

Sounds like a good place to start.If it continues consult your MD.
A stiff neck can be serious.
