Bleh.
And to top it all off all I got was 800mg of ibuprofen 3 times a day to help with the inflammation.

Use a hot compress on your neck for 10-15 a couple times a day to help loosen up the muscles in that area. Also if it doesn't hurt too much, do some neck stretches. As far as you can rotate, turn your head to the left and hold for 30 seconds. Do the same to the right and repeat 5 times. Another one to try is tilt your head to the left and right, like youre trying touch your ear to your shoulder. Again hold for 30 seconds each time.
This helped me get through three herniated discs and pinched nerves last year.
