What Causes Stiffness Along With Severe Pain In Neck And Shoulders?

I have had a cervical laminectomy, fusion of c5-6, and a plate with fusion for c4-7. That was in 97, 98 and 99. I have experienced pain since then but nothing unbearable. On Tuesday, I hit my head on the car door when getting out. Nothing serious. No bump. Wednesday I started getting a stiff neck. Thursday morning I could not get out of bed by myself because the pain was excrutiating in my neck and shoulders. Xray and CT showed hardware is ok and no fx. What could the problem be. I had an MRI but don t have results yet.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is head injury and x-ray and CT scan is unremarkable then this is nothing to worry now what ever the symptoms you have could be due to soft tissue inflammation else this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
