What Causes Pain In The Spine Area While Turning The Head?

My upper back in the spine area hurts when i turn my head or try to get out of bed. I fell on my neck on a trampoline yesterday. I have no tingling sensations anywhere and everything moves fine. Could it just be a bruised or pulled or sprained "something"?

Neurologist,  's  Response
The most obvious cause of the pain is the trauma from the fall. That is a delicate area to injure in the way you did so, any type of movement or manipulation of the neck could cause pain and discomfort. I would recommend having a doctor check it out to be sure you have not seriously damaged anything. At the very least they will be able to give you specific instructions to rehab, possibly use ice to cool the strain down, and provide temporary immobilization IF that is considered appropriate for your condition. Please rate this encounter with a 5 STAR choice and if you have further questions please contact me at: XXXX
