    Default How do you cure a &*(#@ Crick in the Neck?

    Usually when some one walks by with their head cocked to the side with their hand over their neck, they'll usually say, "I must've slept on it wrong." Although I can't laugh it off, mine must be the funnier variety.

    Early this morning while typing away at my computer, my neck was turned at a slight angle when suddenly I sneezed 3 times in a row. On the third sneeze it was as if an invisible screwdriver was jammed into the side of my neck. Ah, you know that feeling...

    With my neck turned and slightly bent, my neck muscles were in awkward and prestretched position and being as it was early in the morning, they weren't warmed up to take a beating. Now I got the notorious crick in the neck, the worst one that I've ever felt.

    Going for a run afterwards felt like an act of Braveheart, I was tempted on yelling "Freeeedom" everytime the stabbing bain surfaced. What ticks me off is that I had a hard workout planned later, and now all I can think of is how I can get over it sooner.

    All I can think of is trying to relieve the inflamation, take boiling hot showers when that's taken care of and listen to "Time" by Pink Floyd.

    Now if any of you have a magic bullet short of an Evangelical Minister's faith healing that will help me get over it faster, then please by all means tell me.
    If you hear a voice within you saying that I am not a painter, then by all means paint and that voice will be silenced.

    i feel you pain. I've had this before. your scalene muscles are knotted.

    you need to heat them with hot water in the shower.

    very aggressively do stretching exercises.

    and key: get some very deep massage therapy. go to someone who'll quite literally lean on you with all their weight to work out the kinks.

    Thanks bro,

    I'll be sure to take a hot shower later on. Intense stretching is out since it'd feel like a paint ball death until it settles down for the most part.

    I'm open for any good ideas. I'm currently reading up on 'Active Trigger Release" which is a method of ironing out the kinks in typical soft tissue pain.

    I used to get them now and again headering the ball when playing football. Call me a masochist but I used to lean into the pain a lot and it used to help a little bit.

    Thanks Scrap, I found the vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khfRxOyycQE

    At that rate I might as well lay a carton of eggs while I'm at it.

    It may or may not help you but check your pillow height. My chiro told me to make sure it allowed my neck to be level with the rest of my spine and if I slept on my back to support it so that my head didn't roll back diagonally.

    Sleeping seems so dangerous when you begin to learn all the ways you can mess yourself up by doing it wrong and I find some of the bad things I do are habit now too!

    Good luck getting rid of it Chris - i'm sure it'll come good soon.

    sharla, take some pics of you in the sack and send them to me. I know exactly how high everything should be raised and/or elevated.
