What Is The Remedy For The Pain In Neck Caused Due To Slipping On Ice?

Slipped on ice today and hit the back of my head, had a headache for a bit but Ibuprofen solved the pain. The problem is my neck seems to hurt. My thoughts are that when I strained to hold my head up from crashing to the ground I stretched those muscles.

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi,

For my patients i recommend icing it for the first 48 hrs, massaging with topical gels containing muscle relaxants 2 to 3 times per day, physiotherapy and yoga or relaxation and avoidance of any vigorous movements will be effective for your case if not I suggest CT and MRI on cervical vertebrae to exclude any kind of fissures or nerve compressions. Please consider some positive feedback if the information was helpful.

Hope the above information helps you. Any further clarifications feel free to ask.

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

Regards,
Dr. Ahmed Aly Hassan
