I had an X-ray done because a few years ago, during a soccer game I injured my neck- hyperextension to the right. Ever since I ve experience a throbbing sensation. The vein on my left neck is somewhat protruding. Under stress it spasms. What is the next best thing to treat this? Do you know what this may be? Is an MRI needed?
Hitraumatic injury to the neck can have chances to cause injury to the cervical vertebrae or compression of the nerve roots those are painful spasms under stress painkillers can be of temporary help MRI is the ultimate investigation to see the extent of the injury. Better to use soft cervical collar to immobilize the spine & prevent further injury. Please meet a neurophysician or neurosurgeon take care
