hi,
thanks for writing to healthcaremagic
you seem to have pulled your trapezius (neck muscle).
please do the following;
1.support your neck with soft cervical collar.
2.take rest, avoid driving, reading , using too much computers.
3.start doing hot fomentation by using a hot water bag or electric
heating pad. do it 3-4 times a day.
4.take antiinflammatory like ibuprofen or acetaaminophen.
it should be fine in 4-5 days.
hope i have answered your query.
thank you
