Is it normal to have a sore/stiff neck for three days?

Posted this in Chat then realised it should probably be there

I've had a sore neck since Tuesday, and I'd put it down to watching TV in bed at a strange angle on Monday. But it's not letting up; it's still really uncomfortable and even swallowing and talking hurts it. I can move my head, but it's a bit uncomfortable, especially lifting my head up (opposite of nodding iyswim).

In the past if I've had a sore neck after sleeping funny it's better by the following day. Is it normal for the pain to last so long?

probably should be here*

Yes I've had one that lasted days. Made me cry

Heat packs helped me, those micrwaveable wheat bag things. Also Deep Heat neck massage from H
