Have a muscle knot in my neck, right side. 1+ weeks. flector patch, (diclofenac) advil 600+ not touching it. should i heat or ice it? other strategies?

Ice: Is it just a muscle knot or is it something that is hurting you? Muscle knots can be present due to posture and strain. Ice as well as warmth can help. Try icing it first with a frozen bean bag for about 3-5 minutes followed by stretching the area.
