What should I do about my neck/wrists injuries?

I was ice skating with my friends and at towards the end of ice skating...I fell backwards and apparently my neck or head and my wrists were damaged as well.
My neck hurts whenever it's not at the right angle. I can't really make it go back or that straight. My left wrist is sore whenever I apply a lot of pressure on it. My right wrists hurts for the same reason, except it's a little more sensitive and the main comes easier.
It's been hurting like this since Friday when I fell and I've been putting some asian medicine on it that is supposed to help sore muscles, but it still hurts the same everyday since then. Should I go consult a doctor or wait a while longer? If I should wait, how long should I wait?

Whenever you have any injury to your neck you should always get checked out. Chances are that you've just pulled something or have internal bruising but seeing as this was caused by a trauma, you need to get to the doc's and have anything dangerous ruled out. Good luck!
