Accepted Answer

No : No one can definitely diagnose your problem without more information and an examination.  That said, you're correct to be concerned about ibuprofen, which is in the class of medications that we term "nsaid" (for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug).  Heat, stretching and time are all good remedies.  Since this has been going on for 3 weeks, i'd suggest getting in to see your primary care doctor; most likely, they'll be able to diagnose this and offer definitive treatment options (i.e. Physical therapy, massage, et cetera).  Good luck!

Nerve irritation: Your pain may be from your cervical ( neck) spine secondary to a nerve root irritation. This can be caused by many things. Seeing your PCP or a Pain Physician is indicated for a full examination. Imaging studies such as a MRI may be used to assist in confirming a diagnosis and in directing treatment.

Neck problem: Moist heat, stretching exercises to neck & shoulder muscles; use NSAID like aleve/advil/ etc (if you can take them) for pain & inflammation. If more needed, see osteopathic physician for muscle relaxer, soft tissue techniques, & possible neck manipulation. Prevention: take breaks from work to stretch neck muscles & relax. Therapeutic massage is beneficial, too.

Accepted Answer

Anti-inflammatory: For a "crick" in your neck try applying moist heat to your neck 2-3 times per day and consider taking a Tylenol. A pain cream like AcuPlus can be applied to the pain.  Make sure you have a good lumbar support if you sit in a chair several hours per day.  This will help with posture and will reduce stress on the neck.  If pain lasts greater than 2 weeks or worsens be sure to call your doctor.
