Please help neck injury?

i was doing max out on bench press today and i got desperate to get the weight up and i twisted my body to try and get leverage i got the weights up but now my neck is killingg me its a sharp pain that shoots up the left side of my neck and my head is ****** to the right so it doesent hurt what did i do and what can i do to hel this it really hurts.

put an ice pack on it for tonight,that will alleviate the swelling.it'll also help with the pain.tommorrow alternate between ice and heat compresses,and you can take some advil,motrin,etc.
if it continues pass tommorrow you might need a muscle relaxer but you should be fine.good luck.
and if you have someone to massage it after tonight that'll help.

i think it's a stiff neck... try to rest a lot... if the pain will stay until tree days. try to go to the doctor..

It could just be muscular,but it could be a more serious injury so you should seek medical advice to be on the safe side.Neck pain should not be ignored and can be potentionally dangerous and can be idicating a serious injury.

Please check in w/ a doctor or a chiroprator ASAP and take care.

You should put a cold pack on for fifteen to twenty minutes three times a day. Also take ibuprofen three times a day, or whatever over the counter anti-inflammatory you normally take. If it still bothers you after forty eight hours, start using heat on it, like in the shower or a hot pack. I like thermo-care packs. They are one use, but last up to eight hours. You can take it off and put it back on.

I just had one of these problems for about a week. It had pretty much gone away before I saw the acupuncturist, but that's an option if your problem persists.

Good luck! Remember cold for 48 hours to relieve the swelling, then go to warm/hot.

sounds like you pinched a nerve in your neck.i had it about 10 yrs ago. got a whiplash.anyways the best thing you can do is what the nero surgeon i saw told me ,get one of those neck colliers and immobilize your neck.try not to move it too much.take some anti inflammatory like motrine.be patient it took me 6 weeks for the sharp pains to go away and they never came back.

after the nerve quites down you may want to think about some physical therapy.this book has some great ideas for you.

Typically, a neck strain would be eased by leaning your head towards the muscle and a pinched nerve would be eased by leaning your head away from the injury. This is a generalized finding, as more than one muscle or both nerve and muscle may be involved. So, pay attention to what you mean by pain on the left side with head "******" to the right.

Having pain go up the neck is more indicative of a muscle strain as pinched nerves usually go down the neck and into the shoulder or arm.

If the pain is severe, see a doctor as soon as possible.

Reduce inflammation, restrict activities and use neck support with a soft collar and a good neck pillow.
