52 yr. old male. my right side neck muscles hurt. i must have slept wrong and twisted my neck while asleep last night. my neck is very stiff and painful when turning my head to the right. can i take prednisone to help? if so, how many milligrams?

Most likely muscle tension from the neck. But there are many other reasons for this, see a doctor We do not provide patient-specific recommendations on this forum. You can try telemedicine
