Neck Pain

[Lil_tinx66]

Just a quick question anyone else ever had upper neck pain mostly dull untill pressed in which it becomes sharp and intense and cant lean mh head back as too painfull! I had my hair cut yesterday and it seems to have happened not long after this which is a little strange surely? I don't understand I've not done anything as far as I no ! Ta xx

Hi, maybe it's from leaning your head back in the basin when you had your hair washed? I find that uncomfortable though haven't had it hurt afterwards, but you could have pulled something?

If you're worried maybe get some proper medical advice - might be nothing but your neck is not an area to mess with!

Thanks philomela im pretty sure it's from being at the hairdresser as it came on soon after ! I googled it as I do with most things. And got quite a scare your right when u say ur neck is not something to mess with! Think I needed someone to say actually say it. IvE decided it's better to waste time and be safe so will be phoning doctors when I finish work at lunchtime ! Ta xx

Good to hear! Hope you get on ok, let us know. I'm glad it was helpful - didn't want to scare you but read horrible thing once about necks and hairdressers so didn't want you to ignore it either - hopefully it will be 'take some ibuprofen (or whatever you can take) and call me in the morning'.

I suffer with neck pain.

Sometimes i can hardly move it and suffer shoulder and arm pain, both of which are caused by neck probs.

You really should have it checked by your doctor.

After an mri scan, i found the discs in my neck are quite badly damaged.

They are compressed, and seem to be showing further signs of degeneration.

This was found by another mri scan bout 12 months after the 1st.

I havent been injured in any crash/fall etc.

It just happened.

I dont want to alarm you, but it really is better to see your doc. Just to make sure youre ok, rather than taking pain relief and putting up with it.

Honestly hope you have just turned it or its just the normal stiff neck
