I was rear ended in a car accident three days ago. A CT scan showed a bulging C4 C5. the pain has been getting worse and I can physically feel a large bony bump on the middle of the back of my neck, above the normal bump that is at the base of my neck. Is this something to be concerned about? The doctor at the ER told me to just go home and take ibuprophen, but it is hurting more and more.
Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. Since you did ct scan then any serious injury is ruled out and you don't have to be worried. This is obviously some swelling due to trauma, and it will subside within few days just apply cold compresses and rest Thanks for the query. Regards
