Last night, there was a small get together in the house next to mine. The music volume was very loud and I was very tired. I wanted to sleep peacefully, but didn't want to disturb them in their party also. So, I pulled all the pillows over my head and put cotton buds inside my ears.
Today morning, I woke up with a twisted neck. I can't turn my neck towards the right. I am crying badly in pain. No massage or hot bag is doing anything good. I visited a doctor and he has given me some medicines. I can't take this pain presently. What should I do?

Take the medicines! You bruised some muscle tissue inside your neck is what I'm guessing. I've done this before. Only time having a neck like yours would be pleasant, is in a fraudulent car wreck case. Hope you get well soon.
Regards
Mike

What you have is the proverbial "stiff neck"...the muscles on one side of your neck have remained in a contracted position for too long a time, and are now painful.
If the medicine prescribed is not working, for whatever reason, you MUST call your physician and let them know! You may need something like a muscle relaxer.

erz, I didn't have this in my mind. Doctor gave me some painkillers. Muscle relaxer really sounds good to me. I am going to purchase this spray.
thanks erz, you gave me some hope. I feel a bit better

Anthony, I get this a lot, due to back and neck problems...
Try some Icy Hot (the patches work very well, and don't smell so minty) or some Aspercreme. It will help to dull the pain.
It will probably hurt for about 3 days.  That's the average that mine bugs me. It sucks, I know..But it's temporary. 
Currently my back is bugging me, so we can be in pain together.

Oh gosh..I'm so sorry Anthony, that is the WORST!!
Take a really hot shower and try working it out a bit..(Yeah, it'll hurt!) Oh, you've got a few agonozing days ahead of you!

See a chiropractor, your neck may be out of alignment.

Chances are it's your Sternocleidomastoid Muscle.

Thanks guys, everyone sounds so caring. I am touched with your concerns.
Over here, still no improvement in my neck. Actually, turning my neck towards the right seems to be the toughest thing for me in this planet now. I tried to sleep for a while because the medicines have some tendency of drowsiness, heck! this pain is not letting me live life.
Jessi, I can think about how painful your back will be. You just can't do anything right with such painful body parts. It's a bad day to begin with and god knows, how long it will last.
Fins, I feel like amputating my neck. It's hurting and I am struggling while I am writing this. It's only that my eyes are dry now. I went to a physio, he applied some radiation and told me to come again tomorrow. I have to take a course on that also. But I have to suffer with this pain now.
Ari, chiropractor will kill me. He will swing my neck and I will be dead forever.. lol

Roadwarrior, are you in medical field? You sound similar to the guy who put me on radiations this morning.

Anthony,I'm so sorry hunny!
Try Advil, it's cheaper than the ER, if you get my drift.

Aleve also helps this. When I first hurt my back, I was on so many muscle relaxers, and not a one of them helped. The only thing I found to work was the Aleve and hot packs.
