What Causes Knot On Neck Muscle After Hearing A Popping Sound?
My 5 yr old daughter was flipping upside down onto the couch. She said she heard a pop and immediately started complaining of her neck hurting. She can hardly move it (as if she had a crick) now there is a small knot on the muscle in her neck. Should I try to get her to work it out? Does this sound like more than just a strained muscle?
many thanks for writing. your child needs a hard neck collar for her age on urgent basis. -please do xray of neck with all views including open mouth view as well. If any doubt needs MRI neck as well. -ENT consultation. -if all normal then no need to worry if any thing abnormal needs referral to neurosurgeon.
