@I am still oxox My ex husband who used to work out a lot gave me some advice when I pulled a muscle. He said to take ibuprofen. I believe Tylenol is acetaminophen.

You may want to give ibuprofen a try. I used the Walmart generic and it's pretty inexpensive.

Also, have you ever tried a "my pillow"? Regardless of what people think of the guy, his pillow is a lifesaver for me and I wouldn't be without it.

buprofen basics

Ibuprofen is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID). As the name suggests, it tends to be most helpful for discomfort that goes hand in hand with inflammation, which can include redness, swelling, heat, pain and/or loss of function at the site or source. That makes it a smart pick for pain such as:

Back and neck pain.
Earache.
Menstrual cramps.
Muscle sprains and strains.
Sinus infections.
Toothache.

Acetaminophen basics

Acetaminophen is a type of drug called an analgesic. Translation: It reduces pain signals within the nervous system and not at the site itself. That makes it a good choice for pain such as:

Headaches.
Joint pain/arthritis.
Sore throat.

@I am still oxox I've had that a few times and it is miserable! I've tried several things and what worked best for me was a heating pad that I managed to position in that shoulder/neck area as I laid in the bed on my back. Heat helped me the most.

If the dizziness persists, I think you should call your doctor. That is of more medical concern than the stiffness.

I have had dizziness before I am not worried about that, I will touch base with my Neurologist tomorrow.

If you can find rice in the construction zone, enfold it in a soft towel and microwave. Then wrap it around the neck shoulder area.

I use Bio-Freeze also.

I have a heating pad that is a sock full of rice that works wonders!

My DH likes this one best for his arthritis in his hands, Boiron Arnicare in a tube, they have added a new cream to their brand that contains arnica as well as Devil's Claw. Made in France.
