Q: what can cause a sore neck now for over 2 weeks? feels weird?

: Two weeks of neck pain is much longer than average. Change your pillow and take ibuprofen with foods every 6 hours as needed for a couple days. You should avoid the neck position which exacerbate the pain in the mean time. If by Monday, i.e. 3 days from now, symptoms do not improve, you should see your doctor.
