A friend of mine did that ages ago... he went to the doctor and had to wear a silly neck collar thing for a couple of weeks (fortunately for him back then Avid Merrion hadn't been created yet)
I think you should go to the doctor... neck things can be dangerous... although now you waited all day you will have to wait in A&E with all the drunks as you probably shouldn't leave it till tomorrow.
... where are all the genuine nurses on SH... they should have a better answer than me??
Failing that call NHS direct... they are really good at telling you if you are about to die or not.

Sounds like atrapped nerve to me. I use to suffer from it. Best remedy is heat (ie a scarf tied round it) and try some PR Freeze spray (cold) - it does say not to put on nek but that's what my doctor ordered.
And Ibuprofen should help.

You know Dion Dublin played half a football game with a broken neck, don't you? Go to the doctor. Better to be safe than sorry.

Hi, Magik!
Do you remember doing anything specific to it prior to the pain coming on? Fall? Twist? Recent road traffic accident or sports or work-related injury? Are you aware of the pain going anywhere else - like, say, down your arm?
Most likely it's muscular but there's always the possibility of a nerve root pinch. Things like wryneck or torticollis, where the muscles of the neck can go into spasm and pull the head right around to one side, would be unusual but not impossible - they're hard to miss though as they tend to make you look fixedly over one shoulder and you have to walk sideways to see where you're going!
Have you taken anything for it? The usual paracetamol and Ibuprofen (assuming you have no issues with allergy/hypersensitivity to druds like this!) can be fairly effective for soft tissue injuries if you take them at the recommended regular intervals. Try a nice deep relaxing hot bath - that sometimes works for me!
I do use deep heat for my own neck/shoulder muscles so I guess you could try it if you want. You should avoid your face and your bits for obvious reasons but other than that I don't recall any any particular reason why not (if in doubt, always read the leaflet!! biggrin

)
The bottom line, though, is get yourself an appointment and go see your GP.
