I'm curious as to what is good for relieving neck pain?

Stretching: Stretching and otc nsaids(motrin) are the first steps. You can also try warm , moist heat. If these do not help in a week or two, you need to seek counsel from a spinal specialist.

Get eval: Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS) can help with both pain relief and in reducing inflammation. Examples are ibuprofen (like Advil, Nuprin or Motrin), Naproxen sodium (like Aleve, (naproxen) Naprosyn, Anaprox) or Asprin (such as Bayer, Ecotrin, Ascriptin). Avoid NSAID's if pregnant or allergic to them. In that situation can consider acetaminophen.
