Does Pain And Soreness In The Neck After An Injury Need Medical Attention?

I fell riding my bike today and knock myself out. I was out maybe 2 minutes. When I came to, I heard the fire truck sirens, but then seemed to black out again, the next thing I remembered was the attendants around me. I am now home, not showing any signs of a concussion, eyes are dialating the same, no nausea. My neck is aching and there is other soreness. Do you think I should go to emergency.

Hi,

Possibility of musculoskeletal pain in neck due to accident is more likely. No need for urgent emergency consultation. Do following things first:

1. Apply warm water pad on affected areas of neck.
2. Avoid sudden jerky movements of neck.
3. Sit and sleep with proper neck support.
4. Take painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and acetaminophen.

Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. If not improving in 1 week then consult doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Kaushal Bhavsar,
