Neck Pain: This is very common! do not apply heat to it. Actually do not apply anything to it. Stretching the muscles in a gentle, slow manner will help. If the pain persists, go and see your physician. After giving a good history of your symptoms and undergoing a proper examination, your doc will be able to tell you whether this is a muscular, vascular, or bone problem.
