Hi There. Melinda here.
On the 1 hand I would love to have a neck massage. On the other I can't bear the pain from that.
When I get this sort of neck pain tat goes up the back of my head I put ice on it. I bet your neck is swollen. You can take some ibuprofen if you're allowed but the ice is probabjy gonna kick it.
No more neck massage.
Should this linger and/or worsen, see a doc. You might consider an ortho doc.Let your personal physician guide you.
I hope you feel better soon. Let me know if ypu
Blessings,
M
Sounds like you need a deep seat neck adjustment. I have had what you are describing and the chiro fixed it right away. Hope this helps some
Feel better
