Neck Pain

[Newbie]

For the past 2 days since my last work out my neck has been stiff. I worked my traps and back and did some military presses. I have a hard time turning my head now. Is this normal and will this stop happening after I have been lifting for a few months?

It may pass, it may also be a pinched nerve.

I have had something like that happen and it took a long time for it to pass, probably cause I didn't give it a chance to rest.

For me, i had to learn NOT do move my head around while doing shoulder and bench work, since I've stopped, I have never had any neck pain again.

applying heat may help too.

...and don't let the Viagra get stuck in your throat again! :finger

When you have full mobility and are "fully" recovered, consider neck strengthening exercises

I had that happen this past summer. Someone told me about this great stuff called Trameel. You can get it at your local Natty Nutrition supplier. Great stuff.

Hey Doc, how did you know about the Viagra pill getting stuck?

Yeah, heat and ice are my new best friend since I started lifting. I also have some of that sportscreme stuff.

Thanks for the advice, I didn't think I was moving my head around, but the more I think about it, I kept looking at the machine(one of those bars on a slide so you dont F#$% yourself up lifting alone). Also what is that stuff that you were talking about Jodi? I might have to look in to that.

It's called Trameel (aka Tramed), from a company called BHI that imports and dristributes it from Germany...it's based on Arnica Montana, compounded homeopathically with other synergistic elements to make a very effective anti-inflammatory topical gel, cream, or internally taken (systemically) as a liquid or tab...I/we recommend the cream or gel for this application

OK I will look for that stuff, can you find it at the local walgreens, or do I need to go to GNC or a website?
