Hello,
You are suffering from pain and
numbness in the neck after an accident. You had a CT done and the reports came normal. Commonly such symptoms arise when there is
herniated disc, the nerves in the neck get irritated by the disc causing numbness around the neck and shoulders To get rid of the hurt apply warm compresses on the shoulder, upper back, or neck. Take NSAIDS,
Naproxen or
Combiflam, one stat to reduce discomfort. Get connected to a Physical therapist, stretching exercises for the neck, shoulders, upper back will effectively control your symptoms.
You can take the help of a soft neck collar. Stay away from addictions (alcohol,
smoking, weed) & avoid any other addiction. Take food rich in vitamin B6, B12 or take supplements like Nervup OD for faster relief (for 7-10 days). However, get a follow up clinical examination done to assess your recovery. Get examined by an orthopedic doctor. Do not do heavy work or strenuous exercises. Stay at rest, give it time to heal.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Nupur K., General & Family Physician
