NECK INJURY PLS HELP?

[adampopov]

First and foremost i have to say ive had many scans, xrays, ct scans on the brain and neck etc- all came back clear, except for my neck which does have much flex in it.

If i keep my head up for more than 3 hours i get really bad pain (in the area where you get whiplash) and i have to lye down. If i move my head side to side, turning, i get dizzy. My whole neck just siezes up and i cant move it, unless i rest it and put a heat pack on it.

I do not have any tingeling/numbness if my arms/legs etc.

I do have very sore traps and tensions muscles.

Have i damanged something in the back of my head/upper neck?

It has been like this for 2 weeks now.

I do not get any headaches. I have a slight muscle pain in my right eye.

The chriopractor pressed in the back of my head and i got a sensation of nausia throughout my body in a wave that went away after 5 seconds.

Any ideas?

p.s i lift heavy weights at the gym and i use a PC for work almost 24/7

I'd recommend finding an Upper Cervical Specialist in your area to see for this delicate situation. It's a meticulous and gentle procedure that will be complimented well with the physical therapy.

Hello,

The chiropractor is using pretty hard manipulation on my trapz muscles etc, hes pressing where the pain is coming from.

WELL,

I went to a Nurologist today and basicaly told him what was going on.

He said the chiro was making it worse by hard manipulaton.

The nuro said i need to leave it alone for a while and go to physio and get light work on it, using heat and working on pressure points. Followed by accupuncture.

He said it will take a while due to how bad it is.

He has given me anti-inflamentires and special heat rub for my back/neck.

Adam,

The most responsible thing to do first would be to notify your medical physician of these symptoms, and see if advanced imaging studies are recommended.

If not, I'm curious how long you've been visiting your present chiropractor, what technique/method he uses, and how often you receive treatments. It might be possible that an alternate form of chiropractor may be necessary to address these symptoms.

Warm wishes,
