General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome.

As is common with such injuries, a life threatening injury called whiplash injury is seen; but if at all the same was the case in your situation you wouldn't even be able to move your head.

But a similar fashion of injury could have resulted in the pain described by you and I would thus recommend an orthopedic consultation, so please do consider visiting your doctor for firstly a physical examination and then if required even an MRI of the head and neck region (do not think it will be required though).

Best wishes.
