[|Human|] Heard a loud pop in my neck this morning and severe pain afterwards that hasnt gone away with rest, a warm compress and pain medicine. I cant move my head up much or back and cant turn my head to the left at all. The pain is constant with and without movement. What could it possibly be?
[|AI|]  Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. I think you need plain radiographs of your cervical column to check for/ rule out any bone damage or instability. If there are no such damages, then it is soft tissue contusion or traction (whiplash), bed rest for a couple of days and a cervical collar should help to relieve your pain. If there are any damages in plain radiographs and your pain persists, I suggest you to consult your primary care Doctor. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow-up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
