awww unlucky ive had the same it just takes time, but unfortunately there will always be times when it goes again, so if your doing sports make sure you stretch it before you play, its happened to me loads!
go and see a physio therapist don't stop moving Ur neck moment is the best thing or you will lose the muscle i will hurt to move it but u mustn't keep it still
the only way is a neck collar its ugly but good the ligs need to repair so its a collar lots of rest and pain killers then time is the cure
i had the same thing happen to me about a month ago. Just ask someone to massage the pain and the pain should go away in about a short week.
Ultrasound is good - I tore the ligaments and muscles in my neck and shoulder October 2004. A sports therapist may be able to help you, although a Physio will also be good, as they will give you lots of exercises to help keep it loose and flexible.

Also - hot water bottle was invaluable!!

Good luck - I know how much it hurts!!

. . . it will probably heal itself once they cut you down . . .
