Suggest Treatment For Throbbing Sensation In Neck After An Injury
I had an X-ray done because a few years ago, during a soccer game I injured my neck- hyperextension to the right. Ever since I ve experience a throbbing sensation. The vein on my left neck is somewhat protruding. Under stress it spasms. What is the next best thing to treat this? Do you know what this may be? Is an MRI needed?

hi
traumatic injury to the neck can have chances to cause injury to the cervical vertebrae or compression of the nerve roots
those are painful spasms under stress
painkillers can be of temporary help
MRI is the ultimate investigation to see the extent of the injury.
better to use soft cervical collar to immobilise the spine & prevent further injury.
please meet a neurophysician or neurosurgeon
take care
