Marty, The best relief of stiff neck I've had was applying heat....doing neck limbering/strengthening exercisees....then applying cool. The exercises are from a booklet given out by my lst neuro whom I'd seen originally for migraines and who had noticed my lack of neck mobility. You might check w/your neuro or md for recommended exercises and do them and use a good neck support pillow(the grooved type from Walmart,,KMart type of store) that cradles your neck as you sleep. Massage, hot tub or warm shower gives sore neck muscle relief. A pain in the neck is not something to be ignored. Hope you can find source of your "pain in the neck" and eliminate it.

It has come on gradually, but is definitely something I cannot deal with much longer. I get shooting pains up the back of my head when I turn my head a certain way and trying to lie down in bed is very pauinful. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do? Please - any suggestions are welcome!!! Marty [log in to unmask]
