hurt my neck really bad just moments ago.... cant even turn my head to the left :(

[MidnightSun]

Owwy!!!!!!!!!!!! Are you alright?

[st0rm]

not really

[Faery-Wings]

Uh oh. BTDT and that hurts, bad. My neck went into spasms so badly the first time, my ear snapped to my shoulder, they had to take me to the hosital on a backbd, they weren't sure if I broke my neck!

If this is what is happening to you, you should try to get a drs appt asap. They can prescribe muscle relaxers to soothe the muscle. The muscle that runs from your neck to your shoulder is a big one and it holds up your head, which is *heavy.*

Good luck, try to relax- stress can make the muscle tighter and spasm more.

Feel better too.

thx for ur advice

[Old Witch]

I thought I was the only person who did things like that........:(

[NightSkye]

:( hope your neck starts to feel better soon

st0rm, if you can't get to a doctor, you might try this therapy:

Use an ice pack for 20 minutes, then moist heat for 20 minutes.
Repeat at least twice.

This is a therapy that was used on me several times, and also was suggested to me by my best friend, who is a physical therapist.
It really does help with muscle problems...

Feel Better!!!!

Such an injury can be very dangerous. It once happened to my friend while she was driving:eek: . It's a miracle she didn't have and accident.

Blessed Be

Maybe I'm a bit old-fashioned here, but. . . :) if you're feeling well enough to hop online, even briefly, you're probably not in bad enough shape to need emergency care. My non-medical, in-no-way-professional opinion is that you got yourself a neck spasm that'll feel better in one or two days.

Get yourself an appointment with a general practice physician within the next day or two and have them look at it, I'd say. **Soft smile** And in the meantime, the prescription dosage of Advil is 800mg, about double the normal dose - so that might help you out a bit with the pain, in addition to the hot and cold packs.

im wearing a neckcollar and i took painkillers (alot of them)... i got to jump forword in the line, but all the doc said was that im prolly gonna need x-ray and they dont do that at this hour... so im going back tomorrow....

Don't worry, there is nothing to see on the left! :lol:

Ok, as someone who has permanent neck damage since an accident 7 years ago I think since you were having dizzy spells and such, it's a good thing you went to the ER. I was going to suggest that you take some ibuprofen first just to loosen up the muscles a little and apply some heat to it. But since I'm late here, listen to the docs. It may well just be a spasm, but it scared you enough to go to the hospital. You may be able to stop something before it gets started.

In the meantime, take it easy and lots of light coming your way!!!
