When I get the pain in the back of the neck area I keep the ice pack on 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off. I have the ones that I always keep in my freezer so if I need it they are already ready and cold. Plus I get someone to massage that area of my neck to try and relieve the tension. Aspirin works best for me but we are all different.
I had a really bad one about a month ago , first time in a very long time, and I took the medication I used to take for migrainges only a very small dose and it was gone with in half hour. Relplax is what I took but it is prescription.
I also have a hand held massager that helps when this happens. Here is a picture but I got mine at Walmart for about 30.00.
