For the last couple on months I've suffered from neck pain. It comes on late evening such that most nights I go to bed with a couple of paracetamol. These last for a few hours then the pain wakes me up and I take a couple more. The pain is at the top of my neck/base of my skull like a bad hangover. I've stopped drinking so it's not that. In the morning my neck clicks and crunches until I loosen it up in the shower. I've seen the Doctor and a Physio gave me some stretches but they make it worse if I do them as instructed but lower intensity helps. I use one pillow and I'm thinking a neck pillow may help. Anyone recommend one?

Spending a lot of time looking at a phone or something?
My neck has been knackered for months due to excessive PH while cooking dinner on an evening... and it’s worse the more I look down at phone.
Not been looking at my phone more but have cycled to work fairly regularly on an old school mountain bike. So low, narrow bars.My neck has been knackered for months due to excessive PH while cooking dinner on an evening... and it’s worse the more I look down at phone.
I need my monitor about 3" higher than the ergonomics experts tell me, otherwise over the course of a few months my neck gets stiff and clicky. A memory foam pillow has helped enormously in the past.
On the last change I went for a duck down pillow instead, which is very nice and all natural, but slowly the stiffness is returning. So I have raised the monitor again and ordered one of these

Happy to report back after a week or two.
