Pain in the Neck

I've got half written posts littering my desktop, but lately I just can't seem to find the time nor the will to finish writing them. Maybe eventually they will be completed, or maybe they'll just fade into obscurity, though the difference is hard to tell sometimes.

Anyhow, I have managed to hurt my neck. I have no idea how bad it is, but it hurts to turn it left or right, look up or down, or really even move my arms or upper torso in a lot of ways.

So how did I do it?
Kung fu?
Lion dance?
Wrestling?
Fisticuffs?
Climbing on shit I shouldn't be climbing on?

None of the above.


I had just woken up and was sitting in bed contemplating what I should eat for breakfast and thinking about the lyrics to "Here Comes Your Man" and stretched. Hands behind the head, push shoulders backwards, and streeeeeeeeeeeee*POP* "OH SHIT MY NECK".
So yeah. I spent fifteen minutes trying to massage it out in the shower under very hot water, which was largely unsuccessful. My next plan is to eat food, and then eat copious amounts of ibuprofen or aspirin.
Honestly though, how does one hurt one's self while stretching? I hope it isn't serious, mostly because I don't think I'd be able to live down the stupidity and shame of it all.
