A member asked:

Hello i have a pulled neck muscle that has happened about two weeks ago if not longer the muscle goes from the back of my ear to the front of my neck ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

A muscle injury can: Take several weeks to get better with an average of 6 weeks but it depends on the severity on the injury and location of the injury. That is assuming no other musculoskeletal structures were injured as well.
