OW OW Neck injury causing headace. :(

[jaggythistle]

Any suggestions on how to relieve the pain?

I am at work so can't really lie down and relax. I took some Ibuprofen before leaving for work, but it doesn't seem to have helped.

Neck pain is on one side of my neck at the base of my skull. It's causing a headache all over that side of my head.

It is getting really uncomfortable and seriously impairing my mumsnet work concentration.

Any ideas welcome. :)

(ouch)

wish my head felt ace!

I had this recently. It was so bad my dh had to take the week off to look after the kids. I took naproxen (strong antiinflam) and doc prescribed a muscle relaxant.eventually I booked an appointment with an osteopath and it really helped, the pain and stiffness were practically gone after the first appointment.

Will probably have to go to doctor next week - really thouht it was getting better this morning, but it really sore now.

Thanks.

obviously affecting my typing too
