Muscle spasm: When a muscle spasms it causes inflammation (swelling) in the muscle and causes decreased blood flow to the muscle which leads to a build up of lactic acid. The Lactic Acid and swelling can lead to soreness. Advil (ibuprofen) and moist heat can help expedite recovery which usually takes a few days. If persists or increases in frequency duration or severity seek further help.

Wry neck: You have a wry neck or torticollis. Lie flat in bad when you go to sleep. Use a heating pad set on low or cold compresses on your neck it can take 10-14 days to heal.
