I just went to the doctor today, because I couldnt take the pain and stiffness of lastnight agony..he said I possibly could have a pinched nerve in my neck and gave me some pain reliever and muscle relaxers..But I was wondering what else can I do for it? I m a side sleeper and I mostly sleep on my left side and I can't do that because thats where all the pain is so lastnight I didnt sleep very good..I go back to work tomorrow and Im a custodian at a theme park so I know not to over exert myself and take it easy..but any idea's on what else or if they are anything else I can do, and will it heal? I appreciate your input...( i already apply icey hot and the heating pad is my new bf, lol)
