Forums General Chit-Chat I think I sprained my neck???

Donator Posted 6 years ago ( 2018/07/1 11:26:21 )
The back of my neck hurts where it joins the base of my skull paracetamol hasn't shifted it and I can barely move without getting a sharp stab of pain. What do?

Simple: lay down in bed with something warm or cold (depending on what you prefer) against the painful spot

My shallow heart's the only thing thats beating

@sunny: many things can cause it.
I had it once, very badly, after a day out with school. I woke up, next morning, and I couldn't move at all. I had a complete panic attack because I was still too sleepy to realise what was going on.

once upon a time, I sneezed while laying down and it did something to my neck.
I couldn't move my head at all.
Did you know you do a lot of stuff with your neck that you take for granted?
I bet you do now! It took a few days for the pain to wear off for me.

Last year my nack hurt so bad I couldn't move it at all. Went to the doctors and they gave me special medicine.

@Tuijp: sounds scary :o I did some diy yesterday so I'm betting it's that.


@Mousy: I do now! I can't even sit down without being in pain :/


@vengeance: I feel your pain! I'm hoping it goes away soon otherwise I will need to see a Dr.

@sunny: Even tho your neck hurts you need to try and move it every now and then. You may also wanne try a stronger painkiller.

@vengeance: I am testing it gently every now and then :) I don't know any stronger painkillers, I'm not allowed to take ibuprofen or aspirin :/

@sunny: A that sucks. I had to take 2 paracetamol 4 times a day, codeine & naproxen. I have never taken so much medicine in my life.

@vengeance: wow that is a lot :o I hope you didn't have to take them all for too long?
I have some codeine but I'm only supposed to use it as a last resort. I have another health condition that stops me taking some medications :/

@sunny: I took those for a week. After that I could move my neck just fine again. And it really sucks you cannot take all medicine.

@vengeance: at least the medication did its job :)
Yeah I know :/ I am mostly hoping it eases off on its own, if not I have a Dr's appointment on Tuesday for something else and I will see if there's anything they can do.
