My neck hurts from headbanging a bit too much a few nights ago. How do I ease the pain?

Went to a concert, got a little carried away... Point is, my neck hurts extremely bad and it was 2 nights ago.

Answer:
Our kids used to do this.

The only thing that helped them was to minimize moving the head, and to take over-the-counter pain medications. They also liked the shower pounding on their necks and one said a heating pad helped.

I urged them to write in their livejournals how their necks felt, for future reference next time they attended a really great performance.

How bad is "extremely bad"? Is it sore muscles really aching the way sore muscles do, or something sharper? Sharp pain needs medical attention.
Massage it and try stretching it side to side and I found that a lotion called Topical Grand Flex REALLY helps for sore muscles.
Start seeing a chiropractor. You may have given yourself a slight case of Whiplash. I've been there done that. Anyway regular visits to the Chiropractor should help. Plus the first visit they will take xrays. If you did any damage and it isn't corrected, it can lead to problems down the road. I have osteoarthritis in my neck from an injury that did not heal correctly.
