Neck Injury...?

Wondering if there are any doctors out there willing to lend a hand/advice, as my surgery is fully booked for the next 2 days.
Woke up yesterday morning, and I have a sore neck...well I say neck, but the pain is actually in between where the skull sticks out on the back of the head, and the top of the neck, so it is really the back of my head!
It is uncomfortable to look left, or move suddenly.

Would a hot water bottle do anything? Paracetamol isn't working!

yeah you could try hot water bottle, this increases blood flow to that area, also could try ibuprofen or co-codamol, best talk to a pharmasist and tell them of any medication your're taking or allergies if pain persists see a doctor.

sorry not a doctor, but had that before. I think you'll find it'll get better within the next 48 hours. I doubt very much it is an 'injury' if you woke up with it, it is probably more likely you slept funny. I could be wrong, but I have experienced that before. It was very painful. Try Ibuprofen instead, but make sure you take it after food - it can cause tummy upsets if taken before food.

i had the same pain it was a trapped nerve hurts like crap feel for you a hot water bottle did help a little but i took ibuprofen because its an anti inflammatory as well as a pain killer and it will help relieve any swelling or pressure thats there but my doctor also gave me accupuncture which i thought was a load of crap but as it turns out i take back everything i ever said wrong about it worked a treat was good as new the day after sorry its not much to go on but i hope it helps a little good luck and get well soon
