Dear Mike,
My daughter got her concussion in a ski accident and she also hurt her neck and shoulder in the same accident.
I wonder if your wife also hurt her neck and/or shoulder when she got the concussion? Do you think she may have sprained something in her neck/shoulder when she hit her head? Like a whiplash injury?
I have had a whiplash injury myself from a car accident. Your wife may find some relief taking Alleve or Motrin today.
Also massage the tight muscles. If she can get an appt for a massage somewhere today that may help her feel better right away. I also find accupunture helps.
I find relief with ice and cold compresses....others prefer heat.
I would suggest making an appt with an orthopedic doctor asap to evaluate her neck and shoulder. She may benefit from physical therapy or meds.
Hope she feels better,

What can be done help her relieve of herself of neck/shoulder pain?
Also, has anyone else since their concussion also experience more neck/shoulder tightness/pain?
Why is this? what have you done to help it? does it go away?
Any stories, suggestions, would be greatly helpful.
Mike
