The pipe could have struck you on the back of the head also, which could have resulted in a concussion in addition to the neck strain and bruise (contusion). You should seek a course of physical therapy from your occupational medicine doctor, as well as pain medications (such as hydrocodone, tramadol, or nucynta) and a muscle relaxant (flexeril, tizanidine, or orphenadrine).
