Yesterday I woke up with a sore neck. Felt like I just slept on it wrong. Today I woke up and it was insanely painful. I took some leftover percocets I have and they take away the pain just enough to get on the computer. Anyone ever had a neck this sore just from sleeping on it wrong? I’m starting to get worried.
I’ve had a stiff neck after sleeping, but it usually goes away after a few hours.
Right now I’m dealing with pain in my neck and left shoulder from BJJ class. I can barely turn my head side-to-side.
I’m going with muscle relaxers and plenty of fish oil for a couple of days to see if that helps. Also if you can stand it, perhaps some foam roller work on the traps/shoulders would help.
What did you do right before you went to bed?
I have. It was terrible but it went away in about a week.
I was doing neck bridges the day before.
If it worsens you may want to consider getting some ART done on it.
Thomas,
I’ve had the same thing happen to me three times now, and other than letting it relax and fix itself theres not much you can do. Icing it then taking a shower helps the pain, try to use the jet on your showerhead and massage the area with it.
Also, do you play soccer?
