How can you deal with sudden neck stiffness due to sleeping funny?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: Gentle stretching of the neck should work it out. Also heat to the painful area, use of anti-inflammatories if it is safe for you to take these should also help. The pain should go away after a day or two in most cases.
