just hurts if I try to turn it further, hurts even more if I try to tilt my head up or down more than I can now
What can I do about this?

seriously though you are probably sleeping on it wrong, if you really want to do something check out a chiropractor

You probably just have a "crick" in your neck due to a muscle strain or sleeping incorrectly. This has happened to me several times before and usually clears up in a couple days. Nothing really to worry about unless it persists of course.

Put a heat pack on the sides of your neck. Seriously, it'll loosen it up. I fell asleep in lecture last spring and my neck hurt for like 3 days.

Your head is glued to your headrest. After about 45 degrees you start pulling hair and skin and it hurts. Try some solvent to dissolve the glue.:beer:

Get some excedrine for tension headaches. Good stuff. Use it when i've slept all stupid.

I have a tempur pillow that I think is good, but I also have another one in my bed which is just the normal type and sometimes in my sleep I change to it. Could have happened then, would probably explain why.

dont think there are any chiropractors close by, any other ways to get rid of this?

Or you might even want to see a real doctor.

I had a similar problem a few months ago. Basically I had a huge knot in my shoulder that wouldn't go away. My doctor gave me some muscle relaxers and it went away.

i agree. it's actually ironic you posted this because i woke up with my neck like this on Monday, including a terrible headache caused by it. By Tuesday afternoon, i couldn't stand it anymore, so i went to my chiropractor and yesterday it was somewhat better; today it's 80% better (it doesnt always help instantly, as nerves/muscles have been pinched for a while and need to relax).

FWIW...

go to a massage therapist. he/she should be able to pin point what muscle it is that is tight. once they do they will work the muscle insertion and origin points and that should fix you up.
