Waking up with a stiff neck is very common and usually caused by a simple muscle spasm. Since it has only been 12 hours, it is highly likely to improve on its own over the next few days. You can continue taking Combiflam (which contains ibuprofen and paracetamol) as directed, along with gentle heat and light stretching. However, please consult a doctor if the pain remains severe after a few days, or if you experience warning signs like shooting pain down your arm, numbness, tingling, or a fever.
