Answer 1

Hi Darling,

I also have neck problems and it's horrible.

Take a couple of painkillers, Nurofen is better than Paracetamol (if you can take it) because it's an anti-inflammatory too.

Try to keep it mobile, and try to sit and stand straight. I have a special 'memory foam' pillow that I would never be without now, and I use it every night, because I used to end up exactly like you, waking up in the morning with a stiff and painful neck. It's worth thinking about investing in one?

But more than anything I find that a 'hot wrap' or hot water bottle is one of the best things to ease the ache.

I hope you feel better soon,

Take Care,
