[|Human|] i recently just moved my neck not long after waking up and i heard a kind of crunch noise, then when i went to sit up i cant move my neck or shoulder to the left without being in agony. turning to the right is less painful. and also to move my left arm it hurts at the shoulder. ?
[|AI|]  Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to a musculoskeletal disorder. I would recommend having some rest for some days. Holding a cervical collar may be helpful. For the pain I would recommend taking painkillers like ibuprofen, coupled with a muscle relaxant like Flexeril. Your symptoms will improve gradually. If the problem persist, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and a cervical spine X-ray study. A cervical spine CT scan may be needed. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,
