Why does the back of my neck hurt after screaming?!


Question: Why does the back of my neck hurt after screaming?
i screamed really loud for about 5 minutes continuously today because i was really mad. after i stopped the whole back of my neck tensed up and now if i move my head down it hurts slightly still from tension. I'm wondering why this happened because every other few times i screamed this never happened.

You tightened up your neck muscles with the scream and to get rid of the tight muscles they have to be freed up and here's how to free them up:
Neck
Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your neck. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. When your fingers and thumb touch, about two minutes, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.



You must have cricked your neck in a certain way when you screamed, causing you to hurt your neck.
