A neck injury would not necessarily be painful. I can manually feel the muscle spasms in my neck but there is no pain. Try pressing on the various points around your upper neck and behind your ear and at the back of your skull. If you find some tender spots, there is injury/spasming going on.

I don't have any affinity for seeing neuros for a concussion. They can be more problem that benefit, especially if they put a somatoform diagnosis in your medical record. If the neuro has bad information about concussion, what help will he be.

A physiatrist can also prescribe the MRA if needed. Does your health insurance have a telephone advice nurse? Sometimes, they can give you some direction.

A physiatrist who is an MD may be good. They can refer you to the therapy they prefer. A CST trained DO is suspect in my book. I have been seen by DO's that were helpful and by DO's who wanted to take off down rabbit trails of inappropriate treatment. The patient needs to make informed choices.

Since you are so close to your last injury date, maybe it would be good to just rest and give it some time before moving ahead. Develop a good posture discipline for your neck while resting. It may be as beneficial as therapy. Some PT's push too hard with range of motion goals and don't allow natural healing. I've seen both. Conservative PT's who teach a patient how to work with their own body are rare.

keep in mind that there is no magic bullet for treatment of concussion. Only individual symptoms can be treated and not all symptoms can be treated. Head aches, yes. Brain fog, no.

My best to you.
