How can i get my back-of-the-neck pain to go away?

Question

Every morning i wake up to bad pain in that back of my neck. does anybody have any treatment that might help it go away???

Answer 1

Try over the counter pain relief medication first thing on rising. BE SURE to ask your Dr or pharmacist if it is safe (If you are taking other medications). You can try a heat pack or heating pad. Also check your pillow. Is it to high, too low, too many pillows? If you can afford to, invest in a good quality pillow. One that conforms to the shape of your head when you lay on it. I always had neck aches in the morning. I changed my pillow to a conforming pillow. Now my ache is gone! Good Luck. You can also try gentle manipulation of the neck. If pain persists, you may want to get to a Dr.

Answer 2
