I fell on my tailbone in Ice Hockey, pain shot up my spine and I got an instant headache. I got a full body check maybe 2 minutes after this and went flying. I have a bruised tailbone (of course) but also my neck is extremely stiff and has low mobility, should I be concerned?
Hi... Your neck pain is due to sudden insult to the spine and associated strong jerky movement in the neck... Because of sudden movement in the neck there could be spasm developed in the neck and may make you feel stiff and reducing the mobility... I recommend you to kindly do lot if icing both in neck and tailbone frequently.day once in every 2 hours for 15 mins. Avoid loading in the injured area... Support your neck while sleeping. If you have any Anti-inflammatory medication previously prescribed to you .can use them . Hope this is helpful to routinely revert in case you need further clarification....
