Head/Neck, Neck Pain
2012-03-31 – 2012-04-17
Grade: 3
Woke up Sat morning earlier than normal, tried to move my head and couldn't very well as I had excruciating pain in my neck!
Tilting head, lifting head, rotating head and side to side were all agony.
Spent day taking paracetamol and/or ibuprofen to try and reduce pain but it didn't help. Wheat Pack thing worked a little to reduce pain in evening.
Woke up Sunday with no real improvement, some more paracetamol and it eased a little. Used the wheat pack and that helped a little too. Started to get a bit better in evening but cannot turn quickly.
Monday morning - Still very sore, can't turn any direction fully, have to move slowly. Was just OK to drive to work. Pissed off now I've only run twice in the last 10 days, only hope it means I hit JK feeling fresh but I'm not so sure.

Neck still achey in morning, and not feeling perfect when I extend head forwards or backwards to extremes (hurts at these points) but feel it's good enough to not be an injury.
I'm stupid and let it go on and on without getting checked out by a physio. Was put off by thought of cost...
