I woke up this morning with an unbearable pain in my neck.It is bad to the point I can only tilt my head in one direction without having a sharp pain in my neck.I searched online ,and I guess what I have is known as torticollis.You get it if you slept wrong and it lasts for 2-3 days if treated… I really hate living right now. 😢
Feel free to give me advice.Anything would help.

I had that in Vegas, it was due to work stress and lack of proper sleep. Couldn’t keep my head straight, I was stuck looking to the right side. I had go to the emergency room and get a shot in the neck. (ouch!)
It did help and it eventually went away, but my neck was sore for a few weeks after. My case might have been worse than yours though.
Good luck! Consider seeing a doctor if it’s serious.

I’ve had this a few times. I never got any medical attention, I just let it go away on it’s own. Usually, it lasted about a week for me. It’s absolutely terrible, I don’t know if I’ve ever had such a debilitating injury.

It is certainly debilitating. I had to walk out of the Vegas hotel looking to one side and hail a cab. Had to turn my whole body to talk to people. It was kinda ridiculous.

The website said it would last up to seven days if left untreated.I really hate it. 😕

I have had lots of neck problems. I go to chiropractors to get it fixed up. Muscle relaxers also work. A combo works best.
I take an over the counter pain med like Acetaminophen, and a hot shower which normaly helps.

But in the long run it’s way ahead of the alternative.

I’ve never had neck pain bad as you, but a heating pad usually helps to soothe it some.

0\_0 I usually just have it for a day and it goes away after a good night’s rest.
