A member asked:
Slept in a wrong position and now having neck pain and stiffness for the past 3 days. how long will it take to resolve and should i use a heating pad?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Heating pad: This is a common condition and a heating pad helps. I would also recommend a chiropractor or massage therapist in addition to ibuprofen.
