What Causes Stiff Painful Neck After An Injury?
Last night I did a reverse somersault, I must have done it wrong, because as I went through it I heard one or two cracks. Today my neck is stiff and when I turn to either side at 90 degrees I can feel pain where my neck meets my shoulders. I just tilted my head back and same thing. Should I be concerned?

Hello,
You may be suffering from acute neck muscles spasm may be due to overstretching or cervical spondylosis.
Give rest, use cold and warm compression. Use muscle relaxant to relieve spasms. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
