A member asked:

I've had bad neck pain on my right side for about 4 days now. i have had no injury and taking muscle relaxers and pain relievers is not helping. help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Strains take time: A strain of the neck muscles can be very painful and can even cause a persistent cramp: sometimes it is so bad it will cause you to involuntarily tilt your head (torticollis) When it develops suddenly, from stress or a minor injury, the good news is it almost always goes away after a week or two. The bad news is it takes a week or two. Very gentle stretching, heat pads, muscle relaxants...
