hey I was in a car accident yesterday and I felt okay but when I got up this morning my neck is stikk and got a burning feeling down my spine what should I do

I'm not a Dr. but I was rear ended almost a year ago, had physical injuries including stiff/sore neck and back, I'm still having problems.

Go straight to a Dr. don't wait, you need to be seen. Could be whiplash or something else but definitely see a Dr.

My pain got worse and worse as time passed. Good luck.

Hi!
If you were in a car wreck, have stiff neck and burning sensation down your spine, then please consult a doctor immediately. You could be having a bulging disc or a whiplash injury. It could be serious. If this is ruled out, then it could be a soft tissue injury and pinched nerves due to tense muscles. This would respond to pain medications, muscle relaxants and physiotherapy. However, please see a doctor first.Take care!
