R neck and shoulder: Until you can see your healthcare provider in person, you can put ice cubes in ziplock bag, lie down on the bag of ice - right on the skin at your neck for 20 minutes,then remove and repeat every 1-2 hrs;tylenol or ibuprofen for pain can help and then have your doctor see you in the next 48 hrs
