Have had a neck pain for the past 13hours, have tried rubbing and took pain tablets but it's not helping. should i be worried or even consult?

Posture: You may want to try applying moist heat to your neck 2-3 times per day and start a short course of anti-inflammatory such as Advil or Aleve (naproxen). Make sure you have a good lumbar support if you sit in a chair several hours per day. This will help with posture and will reduce stress on the neck. If pain lasts greater than 1 week or worsens I recommend seeing your doctor.
