Sudden onset neck pain

Just a moan really.

I woke yesterday with a very painful neck. Centrallly located, towards the bottom on the boney bit.

It REALLY hurts. Its a pain not an ache. Constant. Worse with movement.

REALLY hurts to straighten my heck if I've been looking down at something. In fact I can't strsighten, I walk around hunched over until it eases.

It didnt ease at all through the day like soft tissue injuries often do. I've had such a sleepless night.

Its so out of the blue. Never hsd anything like if (I've had that pulled muscle at the side often).

I don't like taking pain killers for back and neck pain as I believe pain is a protective response. But I'm going to have to give in today.

I have paracetamol, ibuprofen, co codamol, and some prescription painkillers - maybe dicofenac.

I'm thinking of starting on co codamol and ibuprofen and seeing how it goes. I'll slso find a hot wheat pack to put on it.
