neck injuries

I am 13 and at my school yesterday May 28, 2009 my school has a huge part with either carnival rides when our town has spring festival or what we did have blow up opsticle courses, water slides, racing ones that if you aren't careful fling you back hard. I came home with no pain but I had been watching a movie because I was tired from being outside all day and my neck must of gotten stiff. I still can't move the left side of my neck over without being in severe pain, if I am laying down I cannot get back up without using one of my hands to cup the left side of my neck so I can stand up. My mom thinks that i just pulled a muscle and i am not allowed to complain about it, but iam starting to stay in pain. should I seek any medical help? If so/not what should I do?

I would just give it a couple days...you prolly just pulled a muscle.  Give it time to heal and if it stays bad for a few days then go seek medical help.  Ice and Ib profin always help too.
