Yes, icing for sure. I used a mix I think Marc posted, 1 part rubbing alcohol to 2 parts water in a freezer bag. Been icing my neck frequently the past few days, with a noticeable reduction in symptoms.

But the neck is huge in this type of injury. Strengthening is good, I suppose. Getting back some range of motion. And as Mark says, lots of ice!!!!
