Heh, yeah well, says on the packet to "consult your doctor if symptons
persist for more than 3 days".

I tried a hot shower. Didn't seem to do much.
(Interestingly, Wikipedia recommeds compression with ice...)

This only happens when it's not warm enough. Never ever happens in
summer, only in winter when the heating isn't turned up enough.

I get this sometimes too, if I stretch too quickly/too much when my neck is
cold (last time I think I just moved my arm and it pulled something in my
neck). Usually it has got much better by the evening and gone the next day,
I wouldn't worry about it.

I don't know if it's the resting or the drugs, but it does seem to be
going away - slowly.
I will be *pissed* if I miss my dance class tomorrow. :-/

Happened to me once in my youth. I wake up ok, but I then did some subtle
movement and my neck kind of froze, locked in that position. Took 2 days to
heal up completely.
Other than that, how about some tylenol? :P

I woke up the first morning and I felt very bad
I wondered if it might have been something that I'd had
So I went to my doctor, a very learned man
Knowing that he'd have the problem well in hand
He said, "Fellow my poor fellow, you don't look very up"
"Could you please give me a cough and pee into this cup?"
He pondered for a minute then he said, "you've got the flu"
"Here take these pills who knows what they may do"
He gave me...
Tylenol and Clearasil and butanol and tennis balls
And water from Niagara Falls and hormones from Japan
And vitamins and paraffins and some beta carotine
And bits of tuna and dolphin that he got from a can

Or "using Google to find the lyrics to that song I heard one time", as I
prefer to call it. ;-)

Something that might help: apply a hot tissue. And maybe a muscular
relaxer with B Complex.
Good Luck. Cheers.
