Neck stuck for one week can’t move it and when I drink I feel liquids going into my nose. 27F please help.
I used an at home shoulder massager last Monday before bed and woke up neck stuck to the side unable to move it. One week later it’s still stuck and it hurts severely still, insane amount of pressure on my spine feels like it’s going to break if I try to move my neck at all. I went to the walk in got Torodol shot, ibuprofen 800, and muscle relaxers. Went to the ER bc I’m in excruciating pain and still stuck they did a ct (said it looked okay) and gave me a steroid in IV and sent me home with a paper that says cervical strain torn ligament. Well it’s Monday and not better so I go to the walk in orthopedic they do a xray and say it looks alright and they give me a steroid shot I told them about the liquids going into my nose they said that’s wierd as well as me being locked this long. They said they will see me in 6 weeks.. I can’t drive, take care of my one year old! Idk what else I can do I’ve also been doing hot and cold.
