Hi there

Thanks for the query

There is possibility of unstable cervical spine injury.

Avoid bending neck forwards, backwards or side to side for now.

It would be best to get an MRI cervical spine to rule out possible ligament injury. Do consult a Neurosurgeon if possible.

I hope I have answered your query.

I will be available to answer your follow up queries.
