I was working out in a fitness lifting
weights. When I got up my neck was tight
I figure I have a tight muscles.. I
cannot turn my neck all the way. Side by
side.. What is the best medication to get
my neck muscles loose?
im not able to turn your head fully to
look over both shoulders
extend your head backward as far as
possible
flex your neck forward until your chin
touches your chest
move your head in each direction so that
your ear touches your shoulder.

There really isn't a medicine that can
help tight muscles, only stretching will
do that. Every night try to roll your
head through its full range of motion for
1 minute. After a few days, you should be
feeling better.

There is treatment for it
neck spasms
what are neck spasms?
Neck spasms are involuntary contractions
of the muscles in your neck. The muscles
become tight, hard, and painful.
How do they occur?
Neck spasms may occur from an injury,
overuse, poor posture, or stress. For
example, it is common for a person doing a
lot of computer work to feel his or her
neck stiffen. Spasms may even occur from
an uncomfortable night's sleep.
What are the symptoms?
The muscles in your neck feel hard, tight,
and painful. When the muscles that extend
from your shoulders to your head go into
spasm, the spasms may even cause
headaches. You may have tender spots in
your neck, sometimes called trigger
points, that cause pain elsewhere.
How are they diagnosed?
Your health care provider will review your
medical history and examine your neck.
How are they treated?
Stretching: spasms are best treated with
stretching exercises.
Massage: you may be able to massage your
neck yourself by finding the tight muscles
and putting deep pressure on these
muscles. You might also get a massage
from a friend or therapist.
Medicine: your health care provider may
recommend an anti-inflammatory medicine,
such as ibuprofen or naproxen, or may
prescribe a muscle relaxant.
Ice: if your neck spasm has just occurred,
put ice packs on your neck for 20 to 30
minutes three to four times a day.
Moist heat: sometimes, especially with
recurrent spasms, moist heat can help.
Put warm, moist towels on your neck for 20
minutes, or take hot showers or baths.
Physical therapy: your health care
provider may recommend seeing a physical
therapist for an exercise program and
other treatments.
Injection: if the above treatments do not
help the spasm get better, your health
care provider may recommend a shot of an
anesthetic or a medicine like cortisone
into the muscle.
