Woke up with a stiff neck. hurts when i move side to side and when i look up. applied bengay on it and icy hot patch but only relieves the muscle ache?

Keep an eye on it: If safe for you, consider trying an over the counter anti-inflammatory, heat and stretching of the neck area. If your symptoms persist beyond 7-10days or are worsening I would recommend you see a physician who specialize in musculoskeletal care (orthopedics) Hope that helps!
