Accepted Answer

Brief or persists?: Could be disc, muscle or facet joint injury. Pain and stiffness can be relieved  with over-the-counter medications like advil or aleve (naproxen). Ice for about 45 minutes will address inflammation and swelling, never apply ice to the skin, always over a towel or clothing. Follow this by heat for about 20 to 25 minutes to help soothe and relax tight muscles. Gentle stretching. See your doctor if persists.
