Neck Pain After Wrestling. What Has Happened?

Hi my name is Stephen. I have a question regarding a pain in my neck that I ve had since Saturday night. I ll explain so you can possibly get an idea as to what might be going on. I was wrestling with some friends on Saturday and it seems that I had hurt my neck in some way but I didn t notice it until that night when I went to bed. I went to lay down and as I stretched my neck I felt a sharp pain. I didn t know if I had hurt my neck while wrestling around earlier that day but I m pretty sure I got hurt from that. When I woke up Sunday morning my neck hurt even more when I tried to get up which caused me to have to get up rather quickly to get past the pain. I went throught the day trying to ignore the pain to the best of my ability but Sunday night the pain came back when I layed down. Then Monday morning I got up with the pain in my neck and I decided to see where the pain was localized at. I found that it was hurting near the left center portion of my neck. I still feel a bit of the pain in my neck while typing this. So I m curious as to what might ve happened to my neck to cause this pain.

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.

It seems to be cervical strain or muscle pull.

I advice you to give rest to your neck. You can take non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like motrin to reduce inflammation and pain; muscle relaxants to calm spasm.

If it persist after that , get examined by an orthopaedician and treatment plan according to that.

Regards.
Dr Saurabh Gupta
