What Causes Severe Pain In The Neck?

I was involved in a wreck on Friday, but because I'm an idiot I chose not to go to the ER haha. I was thrown from the backseat and ended up sitting on the dashboard. I cannot move my head much because my neck hurts still (it does feel a little better though). Everything else is starting to feel fine already, but should I be concerned about the neck? MRI necessary?

Hello,
Welcome to HCM.
I understand your concern.
It is possible that you injured your neck significantly.
It is better to see a traumatologist or orthopaedic, have yourself examined and the doctor would advise you what tests to have. MRI may be one of them.
Take care
