Melissa, avoid lifting or carrying heavy objects, holding the same position too long, impact activities like jumping, impact sports, ha, like football. Don't spend too much time on the internet. Massage is great, even self massage MFR is excellent.
Try not to do anything that hurts. You might get a soft collar if you have activities that require you to sit for long periods, like driving. Avoid anything that cause pain. You might do slow neck rotations. You can do any of these neck stretches that don't cause pain. https://www.youtube.com/watch
You aren't at great risk of making your neck worse. But meanwhile you might get some relief.
Try to find the position of greatest comfort for your neck while sleeping. Sometimes a rolled towel can help.

@gently thanks so much - these are kinds of things I need to hear - i don’t hurt, I am not in pain , I just have a plethora of weird nerve issues. I am super concerned about permanent nerve damage.
