Q: i woke up yesterday and couldnt move my neck without it being in significant pain. my pcp prescribed toradol but my neck still hurts really bad. what else can i do to feel better?

: I would try applying heat for 20-30 minutes or alternating cold with heat for 20-30 minutes( whatever feels better) several times a day. . I would then try gentle massage and then wear a soft neck collar as needed until severe pain lessens. . Your MD may be willing to prescribe a muscle relaxant for you. If not improving, get reexamined.
