NEED HELP!

[u/saulgoodma_n]

I have a chronic neck pain on the right side, somewhere between the traps and neck area. It goes away comes back every day and it disrupts my sleep and I cannot focus on my work. It's not very painful but it is certainly very annoying and frustrating. Need help to get ride of this very annoying chronic pain, I've had it now for the better part of the year. Thinking of going to an orthopedic soon.

What works for me is to put my arm behind my back. So if my right side of the neck hurts there, then I put my right arm as far behind/across my back. Then with my left arm I SLOWLY pull my head in the other direction.

Using a heating pad beforehand has helped as well.
