What Is The Remedy For Back Pain And Neck Pain After A Forehead Injury?
Hello, I hit my forehead really hard a couple of days ago while playing. The shock was like a whiplash. I did not blackout and even did not lose any memory, just had pain in the back of my head. Later, I started having neck, shoulder and upper back pain since then. The back of my head also hurts which is not constant though. Tried pain killers but the pain won t subside. Really worried about it. Not sure what to do. I am a student and have health insurance problems so haven t yet been able to visit the doctor. Is this pain because of the shock and will it go away after some time? Please help....

Hi, thanks for using HCM
Firstly i would like to advice you to be careful in future as such injuries can be serious but in your case i do not see any alarming symptom. All you need to do is just relax , don't stress your self . These sort of pains do take a bit of time but they go in a week or so. For immediate relief of your neck, shoulder and upperback pain you can continue to take some good pain killer and along with that you can add some muscle relaxant like serratiopeptidase or Carisoprodol or Cyclobenzaprine. I am sure you will be fine very soon.
Best of Luck
