Damn it! I must have slept wrong or something the other night. This is the second day in a row that I can't turn my head to the left more than 45* or so. I can look to the right just fine, but I get a terrible sharp pain when I look to the left. Anybody dealt with this before? Any remedies? Aspirin doesn't work. Jerking off doesn't work either.

See what kinky sex does to you... Try Ibebrophin.. and a warm pack on your neck.. your joints need to be warmed up in order to move... I love those stupid thermaheat thingies that you can put on your neck, back or knees..

I'll try a muscle relaxer after work today. I still have a few left from my back injury. Do muscle spasms last for days?

Muscle relaxants ftw. Take them way before going to bed, because they can put you out if you're not used to them. But they'll take care of this little pain in the neck you have. Some local heat doesn't hurt, either.

I used to take 1500mg of Methocarbamol for my back, but it never really helped. Then again, that was for a torn supra-spinous ligament. It seemed to have gotten better since yesterday, but still hurts. It sucks to have to turn your entire body to look to the left.

I had a "crick" in my neck for several days once. It was the worst. :(

I always roll my head around as much as I can, and that usually helps. Sometimes I just roll it down the street, other times I'll play basketball with it.

Uhm... time for bed...

I cant take muscle relaxers.. they knock me the heck out for a long long long time.. after my wreck a few years back.. the first time i ever took pills like that, they made me collapse and fall down the stairs... so the doctor gave me stronger ones and i slept an entire day..

I've got a crick in my neck too.:biglaugh:

Just had a cervical fusion done last week and am dealing with horrible spasms in my back and shoulder. Lortabs don't take the pain away, just my ability to care. Ibuprophen 800 mg has been working good.
