Neck injury from judo?

Last week at judo some heavyweight nutter through me really poorly and i ended up landly directly on my right shoulder. Since then i've had bad neck pain and numbness and pins and needles down my right arm. is it likely i've done anything serious? ie should i bother going to the doctor or is it likely to go away?

You need to check it out!! NOW!!! It could be whiplash, trapped nerves or even the start of Cerevical Spondylosis. I had a neck injury caused by basketball. I ignored it for months and ended up being partially paralysed as the vertebra became too damaged to repair! DON'T let the doctors fob you off, neither. I was diagnosed with all the above within 2 years. If I'd questioned my doctors diagnosis, I might still be able to dress myself!! Nerve pain is unfixable so don't leave it if it's something simple or you will be in agony for the rest of your life. Painkillers don't help nerve pain.

trapped/bruised nerve in your back it sounds like, i def go see doctor or physio/chiropractor

It certainly sounds as though there is a nerve pinched to give those symptoms. I suggest you see a chiropractor very soon.

try some ibuprofen

that stuff is so good i'd almost smoke it !!!!!

if no good go to gp.

luv xxxx

Take some inflammatory tablets, if the pain doesn't go away within a couple of days, go to your doctor who will be able to prescribe stronger tablets. It sounds like you are bruised or a trapped nerve.

An upper spinal injury can involve much of your nerves to your body. Since you are experiencing the numbness down your arm, you need further evaluations and treatment so it doesn't worsen. Do go to the doctor.
