Hi vic, yeah I used to a still do occasionally get the sore, stiff and heavy neck feeling. I found it was me tensing all the time and my muscles where sore through it. If I feel it now I just try and relax I also found muscle rubs and a nice hot bath can help ease it too

I got this same symptom. I eventually discovered that a rice sock heated in a microwave was fantastic. You can make it yourself or buy one in the store. It is bascially a tube of fabric filled with dry white rice and sown up tight. You then heat it (do not wet it) in the microwave and hang it around your neck. It stays warm for around 15 minutes. I found it also helped with my irritable bowel syndrom pain when I would lay it across my abdomen. I would go to bed with it, which would help me relax and get to sleep. I took it everywhere with me.
