Advice please - dc 13 trapped nerve in neck?

Dc woke this morning, stretched in bed, went to get up but had terrible neck pain. Can turn neck one way but not at all the other way and can't fully raise their arm. Lots of pain between neck and shoulder. DC is distraught as should have been competing in sports event all day today which obviously isn't going to happen now!

I presume dc has pinched a nerve and have given pain medication. Do I need to get medical attention? I tried calling 111 for advice but gave up after 40 minutes and being cut off twice!

Have they got any swelling? It might be a strain/inflammation rather than pinched nerve unless there’s any numbness? Could try icing it for 20 minutes. Depending on pain minor injury unit might assist with stronger muscle relaxant

No swelling. Dc was fine until they stretched!!!
