What happens when you get a kink in your neck?

Question

You know when you wake up, and you can only turn your neck in one direction because it hurts like hell (likely from sleeping in a bad position)?Physiologically – what’s happening? Is it something related to muscles, joints, tendons, nerves? Is there a best course of action to resolve the pain and whatever’s causing it?

Answer 1

I get that all the time, I get a swelling at the base of my neck and if I turn my head sideways to the right, my arm hurts lol, maybe should see someone about that!
