Achy Breaky Necky...???

While on my way to Sacramento to pick up my girlfriend for our trip to Reno on Saturday, I noticed that my neck and shoulders were sore and that it was painful to turn my head when making a turn or changing lanes. I called my friend and asked her to pack some ibuprofen, thinking I would just take a few and the pain would go away. Oh how wrong I was... :o ( Unfortunately the pain has gotten progressively worse over the last 4-5 days, resulting in me going to the doctor yesterday. I got a diagnosis of a muscle spasm, a prescription for a muscle relaxer, and a referral to see a physical therapist. My first appointment with the physical therapist is tomorrow morning - hopefully I can work this "spasm" out quickly so I can get back to running. I would really hate to lose the momentum I had going... I went for an hour-long walk during my lunch hour, to AT&T Park and back (about 3.5 miles) and it didn't seem to bother my neck. Maybe I'll attempt a run this evening as my neck/shoulders always seems to be much better in the evenings after I've stretched them out, etc. throughout the day...
