Hurt my neck

3 replies

I was sat on the sofa, leaning back and stretched. There was a weird crunchy sounding pop at the base of my neck, followed by pain and now I can't move my neck from side to side properly.
I've taken ibuprofen and have an ice pack on it which seems to be helping the pain to a degree but I have healthy anxiety and have now convinced myself I might have broken my neck 🤦‍♀️ any advice?

I have hyper mobility so things crack constantly but never like this.

It sounds a lot like Neck Tendonitus to me, but I may be wrong. Sorry you're in pain. Do a little research on the above and see what you think. Hope you get better soon!

Your welcome but I may be wrong. I had tendonitus in my hand triggered by moving it awkwardly. It kind of popped and I was in agony for quite awhile. I was prescribed strong pain relief for it which helped. I don't think you have broken your neck so don't get your self all worried about that x
