When I was in a wreck, I had neck pain and all they prescribed me with was 500mg ibuprofen, BioFreeze, a heat pad with vibration and message. That's pretty much it and it actually helped me. So if you have a hot water bottle, ibuprofen, muscle rub and somebody to message your shoulders and neck for at least 30 minutes every 2 days then you should be okay. Oh! They also had me do these exercises after the message: 1)Touch your right ear to your shoulder and hold for one minute, then the same for you left. If you can't, just try to go as far as you can tolerate. Do this three times. 2)Touch your chin to your chest and hold for one minute and then the back of your head to your back between your shoulder blades for one minute and hold. Do that three times. 3)Turn your head left as far as you can (like looking over your shoulder) and hold for one minute. Do the same to the right and hold for one minute. Do that 3 times. 4)Rotate your head slowly around for one minute. Starting with looking down, chin to chest and rolling your head to your left ear to shoulder, continuing rolling to looking up with your back of your head to your back between the shoulder blades, continuously rolling your head to your right, ear to shoulder and back then back to the looking down chin to chest position. Then the opposite direction for one minute. I heard all sorts of ugly grinding and such but it's important to keep it mobile. Do that twice a day for about 3 weeks. That is what I had to do when I went to a doctor. I wished somebody had told me that so I didn't have to pay so much for what really shouldn't be so costly. I hope you feel better.
Thanks for all the info, I think it's ok now though thankfully. Now I await the headache that will follow when I see how much money I will have to shell out. Any advice for that one? XD
