Why does my neck hurt when I turn it to one side like I have slept on it wrong?

Answer 1

this could be a strained muscle. You can apply a heating pad for twenty minutes and afterwards use an analgesic cream in the area. This might help relieve some of the pain. Also Advil tablets are very beneficial, take them three times a day.

If this does not help you should see a chiropractor. I've enclosed a link where you can find a chiropractor in your area.

Answer 2

If it doesn't go away in a day or 2, you may want to visit a Chiropractor - it always works for me.
