What Relieves The Pain And Soreness In The Spine?
I was on a floaty in a 3 ft pool when it flipped over and I hit my head on the bottom of the pool. My neck extended and I heard and felt a crack down the top of my spine. I woke up today with it hurting and sore. Could this be serious? What should I do?

Hello,
It is necessary performing a physical exam and a cervical spine X ray study, just to see if everything is OK. In the meantime, I recommend avoiding physical activity and taking ibuprofen for the pain.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
