Neck pain is hurting me so bad!!?!


Question: Neck pain is hurting me so bad!!?
I'm a 13 year old girl. I have extreme neck pain. It all started Thurday and now it's Sunday. I was doing homework at home, sitting like I sit everyday for as long as I remember. All of a sudden my neck hurt so bad. I've never had such a pain before. And it was so quick! It has nothing to do with my period I'm for sure about that. I've tried everyhing possible I think. Hot showers, cold showers ,asprin, pain reliever, cream for just what I have, ice, hot packs, icey hot. It all just doesn't work. Not even warm or hot baths with my neck in the water or warm or cool cloths draped on it. The only thing that helps is the heating pad but as soon as it goes off or I move it's back to hurting. My mom woulnt take me to the doctor. She said to deal with it. It's getting better but it still is an unbelievale pain. It's just the middle back part and the right side that hurts though. I have school tomorrow and a 3-4 hour after school field trip Tuesday. What do I do? Please don't give me that thing about massaging it becuase I've tried it to many times to count. PLEASE help! I've been praying so much!

Answers:

I would be insisting on a medical appointment. Perhaps your mother thinks you are trying to make excuses for not going on the school excursion. Kneck problems are usually posture related so it sounds like you were probably sitting incorrectly and hunched over your schoolwork. Nurofen may be a better alternative to what you are taking at present; has anti-inflammatory properties. I would still visit the doctor though. The type of massage you need cannot be done by yourself. The hot shower idea is to play hot water (as hot as you can tolerate) onto the back of the neck for a while. It will probably right itself soon but you must do something about your posture problems to avoid having the same problem in the future.
