Hello,

A fracture can certainly cause neck pain which may irradiate also in the head. It can also lead if accompanied by displacement of bony fragment or cervical discs to spinal cord compression and bowel movement issues. So it is certainly recommended to go to the hospital, even if she doesn't want treatment at least to have imaging tests to understand better the situation and the involved structures, after that therapeutic options are discussed and she can decide what she wants to do. I remain at your disposal for other questions.

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