neck injury any suggestions to what has happened ?!


Question: Neck injury any suggestions to what has happened ?
i was sledding on sunday down these really steep hills half way down i fell off my sled and hit my head.
5 minutes later i felt fine and so i did for the rest of the day. but when i woke up the next morning my neck was stiff and has great difficulty moving.

Answers:

When you hit your head your head snapped back as did your neck trying to support it. So your neck is understandably sore from that. Try putting heat on your neck or you could even make a homemade cervical collar by wrapping towels around your neck to limit movement. I know that it's really uncomfortable but it should get better within a few days. If it doesn't or you have any dizziness or headaches call your doctor right away.

Good luck!
