Sitting yoga and going on a walk, followed by muscle relaxation and a shower usually helps me best.
If nothing else works, Ibuprofen stops inflammation and Tizanidine helps you relax the muscles without having bad side effects like Benzodiazepine.
Thank you kindly for the advice ๐
Last night kinda sucked like that, but I was able to relieve the pain eventually with a combination of the other posted suggestion, generic muscle rub (basically off-brand Ben Gay), a BC powder, some beer, and restricting my neck motion for a while.
Then I rearranged my pillow to be rolled up very tight to sit under my neck while I finally got some sleep around 5:30am..
I'm just glad it didn't settle into a long term pinched nerve again.
Noice! Happy something worked. Seems you have a whole arsenal of remedies now.
