    I am late but here is something that helps me. Bed and Body Works has a Speariment/Eucalyptus Massage Oil that is wonderful when you have muscle pain. Take a hot bath/shower then have someone rub it one. Makes you sleep soundly and it takes the pain away in about a half hour or so for me. The ibprofin is good too.

    Feel better.

    The best thing for necks when you do want to use heat, is a rice sock. Fill a long sock with rice, throw it in a microwave for a bit, until hot, and then wrap it around the back of your neck. It is the best because it takes the shape of your neck.....

    Thanks everyone :)

    It still hurts today, I still can't turn my head all the way to the left, but I'm doing heat again today, which made it feel better at any rate... I took a shower as hot as I could stand it this morning which relieved some of the stiffness.

    I really appreciate all of the advice,I'm going to try alternating hot with cold.

    Oh, oh, oh, just thought of something you can try!

    I've used those Therapad thingies on my shoulder and back before--you know, the stickie things that have medication in them that is absorbed through your skin. they give a little heat off, too. I absolutely SWEAR by the ICY/HOT ones. Make J go out and buy you some. You can wear it around the house at least. They're fantastic!

    Manda,

    I would suggest that rather than put heat on it, you ice it and take a pain killer like ibuprofen. Ice it for about 20 minutes at a time. I use to have problems with lots of minor strains and that advice is straight from my DR.

    Hope you feel better.
