Painful Neck And Shoulder, Cough. What Could It Be?
Last Saturday I was on an old wooden roller coaster, the day after I had felt pain in my Neck and shoulders. After a few days the neck pain calmed, but my right shoulder has been in pain since and Everytime I laugh or cough there is a sharp pain in the shoulder, and just now I noticed a red line mark on my shoulder that wasnt there before, should I get this checked out?

The fact that you have pain after the ride may be related to the ride. You should take some analgesics and hope to get over it. The red line on the shoulder is unlikely to be related to the ride and may due to several other causes mostly such as minor trauma. Anyways both are not serious if they resolve in a few days. However if the symptoms worsen and you develop new ones you may have to consult a dcotor.
