For a pulled neck muscle, it's generally recommended to use ice during the first 24 to 48 hours to reduce swelling and numb the pain. After that initial period, applying heat can help relax the muscles and improve blood flow. Always listen to your body; if one method feels better than the other, it's okay to adjust accordingly. If pain persists, consult a healthcare professional.

What causes upper arm pain?

Could be a few things.Could be sleeping in a awkward positionCould even be that you pulled a muscle in your neckI think you should try neck massage. If your neck can be out of place it might feel like it's your upper arm or shoulder that is the problem.If you have been doing any heavy lifting. I would also not do that for a while.You should go see your doctor if the pain persists.Nerve pain is common and radiates from the neck.
