Hi all. I have a few questions regarding my poor old neck. I have had pcs symptoms for 5 months. They largely went away until I was rear ended a week ago. The day after my neck tightened up and now I am experiencing some of my original symptoms, but in much less severity. For me I feel as though my neck is the sole cause now of all my symptoms… and if I can reduce the tightness in my neck my symptoms would all subside.
Neck history:
-Always had problems with neck/posture.
-Had an x ray about 4 months ago, found slight misalignment in c1 and c2.
- saw a chiropractor for 6 weeks, who straightened this up
-Had a neck MRI- no abnormality (confirming that the chiro must have straightened it up)
-saw a physio for 2 weeks and noticed an immediate improvement in headaches and neck pain
-was rear ended a week ago, next day woke up with tight neck, and now developed some original symptoms such as headache and tingling fingers.
-still seeing a physio for the next 8 weeks for massage and posture to try and reduce tightness in neck. My neck feels like it cracks/pops when I turn my head sharply.
Just wanted to know if a physio treatment for my neck is the right course of action,,, and tips on pain killers or something to reduce neck pain and tightness and occasional headache to help with the pain while undergoing treatment
