Try putting a lot of salt into a frying pan and making sure it gets hot and then wrap it in a cloth napkin and tying it around the top with a rubber band. -- It helps my for when my muscles hurt.

Get someone to massage Icy Hot into your skin. It can help.

Besides massage, there are exercises for the neck.

Trying to roll your head in all directions will help to alleviate some of the pain.

I have a microwaveable neck wrap that helps too. One minute in the microwave provides like 20 minutes of warm, therapeutic, cozy neck-hugging.

NEVER GO TO A CHIROPRACTOR....They worsened my condition, but my massage therapist is GREAT!

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
