A member asked:

Could i have broken my neck from a headlock?yesterday my 250lb friend was joking with me and put me in a headlock.since then my hands tingle/burn a little but can move neck without pain. and pressing on neck doesnt hurt much.could my neck be broken?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Necks can break: Or more likely, necks can sprain, strain, twist, compress, and damage nerves. Small humans (little kids) have less weight, less force, and are more flexible, so they can goof around often without injury. They also heal quickly and well, after injuries. Big humans (teens and adults) have gotten big and outgrown all those "little human" benefits. Time to see one's doctor.
