Pain in the neck!

adiebear

Literally!  I woke up today with a really stiff, sore neck and shoulder on my right side.  This happened also about two weeks ago, but it was a little more painful then and it was on my left side.  I haven't lifted anything or done anything strange with my neck lately, so I'm not sure what is causing it!  I wonder if I am sleeping in strange positions or just sleeping really hard.  Is this happening to anyone else?

Even if it's not, do you have any recommendations?  I've used a heat pack for a little while this morning, and considered using a little bit of IcyHot Balm (but not sure if that's okay during pregnancy).

So irritating, and it makes me grumpy! :-(

Thanks!

I've been having neck/shoulder pain and I realized it's from my heavy handbag I've been commuting to work with. I'm trying to split everything into a shoulder bag and tote bag and that's been helping.

I also wake up stiff with back pain...I think it's the position I'm sleeping in. I just can't get comfortable lately!

I woke up with a stiff neck a couple of weeks ago and it turned into a full-blown migraine... It happened again this morning but as soon as I woke up, I got up and heated up my heat bag for a few seconds and went back to bed with that on my neck. When I woke up an hour later it was fine... Sorry, no other suggestions.

I was having the same issue.  Finally went and bought some new pillows and had a massage.  Been good ever since.  I would also suggest the heating pad.
