What To Do If There Is Pain In The Neck And Hurts To Tilt Head Or Look To The Right?

hi, I woke up this morning and tilted my head then I heard a loud pop in my neck followed closely by sharp pain down the right side of my neck. This pain is so great that it hurts to look right or even tilt my head in any way. What s wrong and how can I fix it?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. You woke up from your sleep, you heard a pop sound on your neck and you got this sharp pain around your right shoulder downwards. From this, I can conclude that you are having a neck sprain which is caused by wrong neck position during sleep. You can massage the area with some sesame or mustard oil and hot water fermentation should help you. Any way it should take around 24 hours for relief.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck. Happy new year.
