try a heating pad to loosen the muscle. other than that, you'll just have to wait for it to go away.

Soak in tub! And try a muscle relaxant?

[Squidy McSquidsworth]

stretch it out.

If your body parts hurt like that you'll need to do more stretching.

i know how you feel. my shoulders are ******** up today.
i suggest stretching.
maybe you can ask someone you know to give you a gentle massage.
also, take a hot bath or shower.
usually that helps.

Same happened to me once, OP. Its cause the muscles have tensed during night and then the muscles are trapped sort of. Mine wore out in a week (the pain fully went away) but a friend of mine went to the doctors and they sprayed some ice cooling muscle relaxing stuff on it and it chilled. Basically, if your neck is locked go see a doctor.

Massage.

Try warming the muscles with a heating pad or a hot bath.

If it doesn't improve within 48 hours, or you have ANY flu-like symptoms, symptoms of a cold, persistent headaches, dizziness, shortness of breath, fever, or anything, go to a doctor.

A common first symptom of meningitis is a stiff neck.

I'm not saying you have meningitis, so don't rush to a doctor unless you have medical insurance and can afford it, but if it doesn't improve at all within about 48 hours, and you start feeling ill (please don't scare yourself into being ill), then see a professional.

Heating pads work.

Also, there's a cream called "Bengay".
It will sooth the stiff area, if you apply it everyday at least three times.
It'll go away after about two to three days.

Well. Your probably slept the wrong way. You know how if you fall asleep in the car and you lay on your hand, and it reall starts to hurt after you wake up? That could be kinda the same thing. Stretch
is the best advice.

Brings me to the WII. Today, i was playing boxing and ******** up my back. Lmfao.
