Has anyone else ever done the same stupid thing?!
Question: After my shower today I was wrapping my hair up in the towel and when I stood up and swung the towel over my head I pulled all the muscles in my neck and now I can't turn my head in either direction. OUCHHH! Who the hell does this? I'm having the hardest day looking after my 2 kids when I can't even pick my daughter up. I feel like such a blonde today. LOL!!

yeah man, you pulled your trapezius muscle.
i have done it several times, once i did it while driving, and i couldn't pull out into traffic because i couldn't look the other direction!!
just try to stretch it as much as you can.
once when i did it, i just didn't move and figured it would get better, and i ended up in the hospital!
try hanging your head forward and then moving to the left and right and hang your head back to stretch.
also switch between hot and cold compresses.
yes sure
i have never done that but it sounds painful.......i would go see someone or wait a few days and see what happens. or use a neck wrap
Ouch is right. I do that at least twice a week. Hurts like hell.
wow that is talent pure talent
my cousin one time, its good to put a heat wrap with beans on it, your supposed to microwave them
I have and your right makes you feel like a blonde. I use those thermal care patches though to take the pain out, I pull my muscles at my job alot too!
yea ofcourse. that was the same problem with my wife. i thought she was the only one before i met you. lol
i saw that on a shampoo comercial, except the girl was like headbanging or something. ive never done it though.
been there done tht!
thats happened to me once. Must really suck if you have kids to look after. As soon as the go to bed you do the same and give your neck a rest.
I get a bad neck from sleeping wrong when I ahve had my three kids in my bed!! Just take some drugs or get baxk in the shower and rub it in the hot water??
I am blonde too, we are never dumb! the dumb ones are the fake ones!!!
Don't worry, strange injuries have happened to me before. For instance, crouching over something on the floor and tearing 2 ligaments in my ankle while doing nothing more than standing up. I've pulled the muscles in my neck before too, but not whilst drying my hair.
Ohh yeah..
One time I just looked over on one side and it Started to hurt just like yours!! lol
LOL i am glad to meet a fellow klutz that always finds a way to hurt herself....you sound like me. well i hope you feel better soon. next time you should use the turbie twist thingy that you see on the commercials to avoid that problem LOL :)
wow...i've never done that, but i'll be sure never to swing my head up anymore lol. I just hold the towel in place and lift my head up as i would normally do.
I tweaked a muscle in my back reaching for a piece of laundry. I was afraid work wouldn't believe me when I called in sick (I did it good, i was flat on my back for days) and my boss laughed and said, "It was so pathetic it had to be true!"
Yep.
Can't take care of the kids, but can post questions on Y!A. Hmmmm Interesting.
I'm really sorry to be the one to say this, but you probably have weak stomach muscles. Put heat on your injury and do a few sit-ups in a few days. Develop a new routine (even with your kids) and get your stomach into shape. It will do you a world of good.
ive done it a ton, which is why i dont wrap up my hair up anymore :P feel better soon!
A lot of times when you get out of a shower that you might have an open window and a draft causes your muscles to tighten up and when you move your head and arms to fast it causes you to strain the muscles. like sometimes when you wake up in the morning and your neck hurts for no reason. All I can say is use ice and heat together in intervals and rest it. aspirins can help too if your in a lot of pain. If it persists than see a doctor.
Well, jusst put ice on it tonight and take some advil
SILLY THINGS HAPPEN SOMETIMES I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN I HAVE DONE SOME SILLY THINGS MYSELF TO EMBARRASSED TO SAY NOT EVEN A BLONDE LOL
Oh man that sucks!!And youre a mom so that makes it worse!!It has happenned to me 2 times.The first one was serious though,cause i was alittle girl..and i had to stay 2 weeks in a hospital to straighten my neck with some..dumbbells..i guess..hah:P
But most of the time isnt serious..is just the nerves of the muscles up there that are tight..and not loosen..i used some creams to create some heat at that spot and i was trying to massage it..it was so bad though that i couldnt even lay down..blah..no dont feel like a blonde haha..you just washed your hair..you didnt dye them so that the blonde color will drip into the brain..kidding kidding..it can happen to all of us..it happens frequently to women though..hm dont know why..anyways hope the neck to be fine after 3-4 days:) take care
LOL can't say I haven' t been there before. You should ice it with an ice pack and alternate with a thermal patch, microwave rice and put in a sock, or a heating pad will work. The cold will bring down any swelling from the oulled muscle and the heat will relax the muscle. GOOD LUCK.
