What Causes Indent On Neck With Weird Feeling In Throat?
Good evening, I am a 38 year old female, and I consider myself to be in good health. No medications and have no medical conditions. A few weeks ago I was trying to move a cabinet back into a tight space and I ducked my head and put it under the top shelf and tried to move it back with my neck/back. Stupid I know.....as soon as I did it I heard something pop and instantly in pain. The first week was really bad and I have just kept thinking it will heal. Today I was rubbing the back of my neck just in my hair line and noticed a small indent just left of the center of neck and when I put a little pressure on it I immediately started to hurt like I did the first week and have been hurting all day now. I also get this weird feeling in my throat, I don t really know how to explain it at all. I am not sure if the two things are related but it happened again when I was showing/telling my husband about it. Is this something to worry about? Do I just need to let it heal? I never really go and see a Doctor, I always feel, if I am sick I will get better with rest and fluids and kind of just thought it just needed time.
hello It may be that some muscle in neck has got sprained (partial tear) and may take 2-3 weeks to heal.Wear a collar in dytime and take tylenol tabs for few days, apply local anti-inflammatory gel like voltaren and do hot fomentation. Avoid extremes of strain and neck movements for 3 weeks. it will heal slowly.If need be, checkup with a orthopedic doctor thanks
