I stretched this morning, and i felt a pop/crack in my neck. now whenever i turn or lean my head to the right, i feel pain. how do i stop the pain?

Strain: Stretching can sometimes injure ligaments / muscles and nerves. Pain may be relieved with acetaminophen / non steroidal such as ibuprofen or naproxen, moist heat and mild stretching. These all get better with tincture of time.
