Question
I have just hurt my neck and im worried, I was sitting on an arm chair
and my head feel forward.My symtoms are a very slight pain in the back
of my neck and when I touch my chin to my chest a slight little crack
sound, but I have no pain in my arms or shoulders and no tingling but
my neck feels tender and alot looser, any ideas what I did I can knod my head forward as if im saying yes and shake my head left and right with no pain quite fast
Mark,
This is a typical/common situation. It is likely an acute joint dysfunction in the neck. No dizziness, neausea, severe headache, numb/tingle, or arm/hand/finger symptoms means that nothing bad is going on. You just did this? Try a heating pad. Self massage your neck muscles. If the pain doesn't go away in a day, then call your chiropractor who will undo the joint dysfunction.
'Regards,
Dr. G'
