How do I keep from reinjuring a strained neck while sleeping?

Q: Every once in a while I strain a neck muscle while sleeping. Usually I can heal it in a few days by sleeping on my back, wrapping a towel around it, babying it, etc. This time, however, it seems to keep getting re-strained every night no matter what I do. I’ve tried sleeping on my back, my side, with a pillow, without a pillow, with a neck brace, without a neck brace, and even in a chair sitting upright. It’s been over a week now and every night is the same: wake up with pain in the middle of the night. I’m quite certain it’s a muscle and not spinal or nerve damage. No numbness or shooting pain or anything like that.

A: You may ask your Dr for muscle relaxers to take at bed time.
