Hello,

As you met an accident in the car crash, I think you landed up giving whiplash injury to the neck where the nerves have got irritated and the pain is now radiating in nature.

I request you to take a cervical soft collar for now and do an MRI scan as we need to know the status of the soft tissue in the cervical region. Using soft collar, hot water fermentation, static neck exercises and upper limb strengthening exercises will help reduce the symptoms. Please take this little careful because any injury caused once takes times to heal and troubles more if not treated well.

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

Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
