Get rid of your pillow, sleep with the arm that hurts you in an extended straight position and do not sleep with it in a bent position. Your neck will stretch during the night, but if you bend your arm, it will not extend into your arm."
I did that and the next day I woke up and 90% of my pain was gone! I will do it again tonight, but what a huge relief! Thank you Lord!
My wife has had the above condition for several years. Sudden pain from top of neck which travels almost to back of her head. Until recently, these episodes have ended almost immediately and the pain went away. The episodes occur about twice/three times per month.... always during the morning - before noon. Very recently, the attacks have become worse whereby she has to lie down and take a pain killer (GP advice).
After each one, he comes out feeling ten times worse than when he went in. Something about the position they have you in for that length of time, being uncomfortable, neck positioning - I'm not sure, as I've never had an MRI. But just curious if this happens to anyone else with chiari?
Hi, I've been having neck pain for almost 2 weeks, went for a check up and the pain comes and goes, more like a spasm in my neck. I was given meds (muscle relaxant) and, for the first 3 days, all I did was sleep but on my 4th day, I stopped it because I couldn't breathe, it was making me feel exhausted, like extremely exhausted and I couldn't sleep but I felt so drained. I stopped taking any meds because of the side effect.
What is the cause of my neck pain? Is it a pinched nerve?

If you sleep on your side, try putting a pillow in between your legs - this helps to keep the spine in better alignment.
If you are a back sleeper, you can try putting a couple of pillows under your knees to help keep the pressure off your lower back and hips. They also sell wedge type things made for this purpose also that tend to work better - mainly because they don't slide around like the pillows could.
Night times is not a good time for me either. When ever I lay down, I feel the intense pain in my neck, which makes it really hard to fall asleep. I try and get myself in the most comfortable position before bed. I went out and bought a 4 inch memory foam mattress pad, which helps a little. I can only stay in one position for an hour or two before I must get up. I will move to the couch. I will go back and fourth all night. Sometimes the pain is so bad that I will not sleep at all.
A van side swipped her mini-van and cause some severe neck damage. This damage cause constant pain in her neck, migrains, and some numbness. The treatment they prescribed was getting cold injections to the nerves in neck and head. She received three treatments over the past year with some short term relief of pain but always come back. Beside this treatment she been doing a routine of physiotherapy, deep tisse massage, water therapy with some relief but not enough.
Hi, I have a neck problem too. I have neck pain just by sitting and tingling and numbness in my right arm. Anyways, I found this book on how to treat your back and neck by Robin McKenzie. It gives you exercises you can do. I started doing them my condition improved a lot. I still have problems but getting better. You should give it a try.
Sorry if this is the wrong section to post this under. I'm 17 and have been having this for 3-4 weeks now. I will get random pain (burning) in the back right side of my neck I don't even know how to properly explain it really. When it does happen it starts in the back right side of my neck goes down my back and to my head it then makes my entire head twitch back and forth for like 3 seconds and then for some reason I get cold sweats and an immense amount of anxiety for like 30 seconds.
