Having Severe Upper Back And Neck Pain For A Week After Hutting The Top Of The Head With A Heavy Cooler 3 Wks Back?
I've been having severe upper back and neck pain for about 5-6 days ...the only thing I can think I did was hit the top of my head on a heavy cooler door that was open after I bent down to pick something up out of the bottom..I haven't really had any headaches or anything though and that was 3 weeks ago ...

This type of pain can occur due to sudden movement of neck. This causes muscle sprain and muscle tightness, so much so that even slightest movement become painful. I would like to suggest you Diclofenec gel and also muscle relaxant like Myoril or Myospaz. Local heat application also works. Do not use heavy pillow.
