Hi the left side of my neck is super stiff and woke me up. it hurts to move it up or to the side. i took advil (ibuprofen) but it's not helping?

Stretches: Most likely just awkward positioning during sleep. I would recommend gentle stretches, and you can try heat as well. Advil (ibuprofen) can be taken at a dose of 800 mg three times a day. See a physician if symptoms persist/worsen.
