3 days ago I had chronic neck pain, couldn t move it straight, to the left and couldn t look up or down. Today it was feeling almost a hundred percent better, but then I stretched back in my chair and heard a terrible ripping sound in my neck and then bam, the pain is back.. just as bad as when it first happened. Could I have damaged something in my neck? The pain right now is an 8 out of 10.
Hi, Since you have mentioned that you have strained your neck, most probably it would be a muscle spasm.- You need to use muscle relaxants and analgesics. I would have prescribed Diego MR to a patient with similar complaints.- You can use veteran spray or gel to get relief from pain.- Do not message rigorously.1) If your problem is severe you need to get X-ray investigations done initially, followed by MRI only if required.2) Do not take analgesics excessively.3) You need to keep an erect straight posture of your back and neck.4) Do stretching exercises, when you wake up lie on your chest then using two hand lift yourself up, in an arc like position and then lie down slowly. Repeat this at least ten times daily. This will surely relieve back pain5) If your problem aggravates you need to get yourself physically examined. Hope this suggestion help you. Let me know if I can assist you further. Thanks and best regards,
