Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I fell to the ground landing on my neck and head area while playing a sports match. Since then, I have had a dull ache. When I move my neck, I get a sharp pain that worsens in the evening. I struggle to move my neck to the right and experience the most pain on the right side.

Please help.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query and understood your concern.

By your history and description, the possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more likely. So, I suggest you take a painkiller like Paracetamol (analgesic). Apply a warm water pad and ice packs on the affected area. I suggest you also apply a good pain relief spray for local massage.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.

I hope this has helped you.

Thanks and regards.
