my neck hurts.

[misdee]

about 4 months ago my neck muscles went into spasm, which was really painful. since then my neck 'pops' and get shooting pains and it feels like the muscles are tightening. i should really get it checked but just havent had a chance to get to the docs lately. last time this happened they gave exercises to do to help the muscles repair as i had torn some, have been doing these this time as well but still get these pains. anyone got any advice, home rememdies, good painkillers or knows a fit looking bloke i can use to get a neck massage then let me know.

sounds like it could be tortecollis (sp?) misdee
Ibuprofen (if you're not pregnant) and paracetamol will ease the pain, heatpack will help. If its been going on this long, get your GP to refer you to physio

osteopath, worth every penny and you may get a stud
I did!

Yep, I second osteopathy if you can get a good one recommended. Hope you feel better soon, it's agony isn't it?

Oh, and nurofen rather than paracetomal is an anti-inflamatory drug (if you aren't pg of course), much better for it, and weirdly alcohol is good as is muscle relaxant.
