Whiplash questions?

I played tennis today (about 4 hours ago) , and when i served, i felt a quick jerk on my head and my neck became stiff from that time. I can move my head backward, leftward without hurting but when i move forward, and rightward, my head stiffens up, and hurts. Is this a serious injury? Should I go to the doctors for examination? thank you.

It may only be a strain on your neck muscles. However, if it doesn't get better after 2-3 days, you need to see a doctor. Xrays may be necessary or even an MRI if your condition worsens.

give it only a few days then c a dr u may have meessed up ur spine which connects to ur neck it probably will hurt worse tommorow goodluck
