A member asked:

My daughter turned her neck funny n did something to it! now she is holding her neck still because she is in agonising pain when she turns. what is it?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neck strain: this sounds like a case of neck strain, where with a sudden movement of the neck a muscle may have been damaged and inflamed and causing pain. Treatment for his is ice for the first 48 hrs to limit inflammation and also take an anti-inflammatory like Ibuprofen every 6-8 hrs for pain. If not improving after 2-3 days or other symptoms such as numbness or weakness in upper extremity call PCP
