Cracked Neck! :(

[peti1212]

Hey Guys!

Today when I woke up like usual, I turned my head to get out of my bed, and all of a sudden I hear a huge crack comming out of my neck, following with suck a pain that I passed out. After a few minutes I woke up again, and now I cannot turn my head, just a little. Now if you are wondering I am sitting at the computer slanted and at doesn't feel good to have this. Hope it goes away soon. My sister had this for 3 days and I don't want to have it that long. Does anybody have an advice?

Thanks,
Peter

Get your butt into a very warm bath a loosen up those muscles.
Sounds like you pulled some tendons in their too.

I am no expert but it sounds like a lot of mineral ice and a comforting GF should do the trick

Thanks for the advice Gonz, I tried putting on this hot pack thing. It is full of different types of leaves and grains of somekind and it says that if it is warm it should help releave pain. I did notice a little improvement, but not much. Still hearts a lot, and I'll make sure to try your advice. :icon_tiphat:

I would try the warm bath also...maybe with some epsom salt in there, I believe that is supposed to losen up muscles too. I would say if you don't see any improvement then you should probably get to a doctor to make sure nothing major is wrong.

The neck and back are nothing to mess with, trust me, I know all about that first hand (broke my back in a helicopter crash).
If it doesn't get better in a few days, run, don't walk, to the nearest doctor.........;0
Just take it as easy as you can and slowly and easily streach the neck out, sounds like you pulled a few things when you got up. You more than likely slept on it wrong during the night and then pulled it out of shape when you got up.

Sounds like you pulled something or strained your neck. Using a neck brace (its not like you can move it anyhow) and if you don't have one roll up a think towel and tape it snuggly to immobolize your neck and you should be fine.

Ok, the pain in my neck is still there, but it does not hurt as much as before. Now I can turn my neck about half way to each side but it still hurts. I think I am going to be ok, and hopefully it won't hurt tomorrow.

Sorry guys I forgot to say, my neck has recovered 100% from resting and now I can move it like before, and it does not hurt. Thanks guys for all the advice. :icon_tiphat:
