neck sprain?

Go see a doctor if it doesn't go away in like a day.

I did this about two weeks to a different neck muscle and missed almost two weeks of gym waiting for it to recover naturally. In the end I went to a doctor and she gave me 500mg Naproxen and told me to massage the area.

Maybe take some Ibuprofen and massage the muscle if you can feel a knot.

If you have numbness in your arm go to the doctor asap.

massage it, should go away by just stretching it out properly and applying some pressure to the muscle

have had it a few times

Happened to me. I sprained it slightly. I usually now do soft tissue work on my traps and cervical extendor muscles. I like to have a loaded Olympic bar and go underneath it when it's racked. I place as much pressure on my trap as possible. I get immediate relief. For the extendors, I simply rest the back of my neck on a foam roller as I lay on my back. Great way to just relax and watch tv or shit post here. Good luck

good idea, will try, when i felt the twinge i was tipping my head back instead of tucking it.
have always been tipping instead of tucking

I'm dealing with my second pulled neck muscle in a year. Frustrating as hell

ffs guys. Sprain is tendoginous, strain is muscular. Learn the difference
