Laptop Sore Neck
what is wrong with my neck?
Hi there. Please help. I cannot move from the position I am lying in right now which is on a pillow with my laptop on my knees under covers because my neck is so damn sore. I cannot move very well and when I do I have to get my boyfriend to help me get up because it hurts so much. It began at about 12 today and it has been hurting all day. I cannot turn my head fast, if I do I get a shooting pain up the back of my neck, it seems to be a sort of trapped nerve but any help or information would be helpful. Should I take anything? I have taken 2 muscle relaxing pills but nothing seems to be working at all.
Could be RSI, have you spent alot of time in front of your pc lately?
Muscle relaxants are a good idea, perhaps also try some anti inflammatory (Nurofen etc)
Also, if you are having spasms, try the hot cold technique, it works a treat, i do it whenever i put my neck or back out (normally once a week! lol)
Here’s what you do:
Get a hot water bottle or other hot compress, and also get an ice pack.
Apply 20mins heat (no more no less)
then swap, and apply ice for 20 mins,
apply each 4 times
Should help to ease the pain.
Also, when you sleep tonight,(hopefully 
) dont have loads of pillows, try to sleep as flat as you can, 1 pillow is ok and is advised as no pillows has the effect of not giving the neck enough support, thus making it hurt more.
Try to move it, but only very very slowly so that you dont seize up, but at the same time try not to aggravate it by moving too much.
Take care,
Hope you feel better soon, ive suffered with my neck, back and shoulders for years and i know its no fun
