In a telephone consultation with a GP, I was advised to use Ibuprofen and a warm towel (I have been using a hot water bottle).
The pain has become more diffuse, spreading to the shoulder, but less intense. The strange thing is that I am only aware of it at night. So: pain in the neck, at night: must be vampires sucking my blood. The trouble with that theory is that we eat a lot of garlic here.
Anyway, Benshep, you have my sympathy; this seems to be a very unpleasant condition.
