With all that said... what do I do??? Neurologist or orthopedic doc or both?

They sell collars at drug stores, but they might prove too small and soft.
You might visit a medical supply shop and look at Aspen collars. They come in soft and rigid varieties.
You're at the stage in your injury when the neck swelling, internal and external, is dissipating. Swelling is nature's way to immobilize and protect injuries. With the loss of the swelling, your neck might be less stable, and aggravating your symptoms.
