Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
5 days ago I woke up to me stretching and I hurt my neck (I assume that s how I did it). Since then I have to physically pull my head off the pillow with my hands and it hurts my neck when I swallow or eat. I wake up during the night every time I rollover. Thank you for your advice. Ive never hurt like this before.
As history indicates there is a muscle strain. You need to do hot water fermentation and static neck exercises before going to stretching again.
Due to overstretching of the muscles of the neck there will be a microtrauma due to which there will be excessive muscle fibre spasm. With the above-mentioned procedure, you should have relief of the pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Jay Indravadan Patel, Physical Therapist or Physiotherapist
