"Stiffness"

The human body is, literally, a real pain. Just when you think ou've experiences most types of pain that can be thrown at you, something else cmes along and makes life unbearable.

I'll stop rambling and get to the point a minute.

Neck pain, excruciating. I haven't even done anything to it. Got home from work, after a brief detour taking Lucy out for a nice Thai Curry and cold beverage. Get home, neck goes stiff. And it hurts. Then it hurts some more, as if some sadistic sod is slowly cranking the pain level up, to the point where I'm awake nearly all night because I can't find a comfortable position to sleep in.

Then, I wake up, neck still hurting, eyes bleary from lack of sleep and make a stupid decision. Going to work, instead of the doctors...

It hurts.

Sympathy and reccomendations on how to relieve the pain greatfully accepted.

Snap your neck back, forward, left and right.

You might die though.

I'd find out what's wrong first and foremost.

Sort of did the same to my neck, gave me valium and told me
not to keep it still :)

Sounds like you've cricked your neck.

Happened to me a few years back - went to the doctors and they gave me a neck brace to wear. It doesn't take too long to go.

Still, I'd go to the docs. The neck is one of the most complicated parts of the body and you don't want to take any chances.

That's mean.
Cheers!

No one is.

Aww..I'm sure it's really uncomfy to be in all that pain, Conggy. Normally a heat pad works wonders for the neck, or a nice warm bath.. Try not to keep your head under too long though, love. Or, you can try a pain relieving medication..like acetaminophin? Usually works for me. Be well soon.

If anyone is bothered...I'm still in pain and back at work. Beginning to think I should perhaps see a doctor or something.

surprised you didnt phone in sick.. most men would.
