Agh! Kink! Help!

[SagaLore]

Two days ago I woke up with a kink in my neck. Doesn't really hurt, its just uncomfortable. I don't recall waking up in any odd positions. I've had several people try to pull on my head so it would pop, but no luck. I tried drinking lots of booze to relax my neck so it would pop on its own, but no luck. 🙁 Will someone come over and help me crack this out?

cliffs:
- I'm kinky
- please pull on my head so I will pop
- will trade services for free booze


Actually, if you could recommend any stretches or yoga moves to get my neck straight again, I'd appreciate it.

You should try a chiropractor. 😉

Take some ibuprofin (though not with booze in your stomach) and go to sleep on a flat surface. Don't use your pillow and lie on your back. That helps 99% of the time for me... even when I wake up with a bad one. 10 more minutes of sleep is all it takes to kill it.

Hmm... does it have to be ibuprofin? I've tried it before for various ailments and it seems to have no affect on me. I have Tylenol and Aspirin (my Aleve is at work).

I hate it when I get kinks. I just try to work them out the best I can.

I use ibuprofin because I find it's more of a muscle relaxer.

Edit: Anti-inflamatory is what I mean.

Maybe you need a nice massage SagaLore.

If you'll deliver the kink... I suggest soaking in a hot bath with epsom salts. They're pretty cheap and easily available.

See doctor/chiropractor/massage therapist. Or get a rub down with a555/bengay/deep cold & take ibuprofen with lots of water.
