Has anyone who bumped their head hard, did that cause neck pain and tightness after?

am not sure if these two are connected.

I will try my hardest to explain. The 3rd week of July, my head got hit petty hard from standing up quickly-- hitting the freezer door which was open.

after a few days.. the upper left side of my neck hurts with tighntess pretty much spreading to noth sides of my napes. I still have head pain, bu, t, what am doing for my neck I can't find much relief, just feels worse each day.

I use an icepack on my head and heat/ice on my neck on and off, also massaging my neck (strong as i can do) and used a tens once* that hurts it*, my neck only feels worse each day/ I have taken 1 naproxen each time... on 4 different days for head and neck pain seems to help for a while.. just dont know how long i should be taking it, so i dont take it anymore.

I can't really get out to see a dr of any kind. what do you suggest I may be able to try for my neck? if you have any questions i will try my best to respond and thanks for listening.

ibuprofen for inflammation- and ice packs make sure your neck is supported properly when laying down

if it gets worse though you may need an mri to see if there is damage.

Give it some time. If the pain doesn’t improve or go away 1-2 weeks.




I’d recommend seeing a orthopedist

Not that I remember. Being 6' 9" in midget world, I've bumped my head A LOT.

I would think any head injury can also cause the neck to hurt too.

If you got neck pain, you got a slight whiplash.

Oh, alright

the pain on my neck is right under my head by my hair, it's extremally tight. when i stood up and bumped my head, my head didn't go forward

I suggest you make the time to see a Doc.
