Default Possible to "tweak" the shunt tubing?

Our son (10) was playing with his friends today and shortly afterward came in saying that his neck hurts when he turns it a certain way. Of course it happens to be the side that his shunt tubing is on. He said that they weren't wrestling and that he or anyone else didn't bump it or hit it. Of course as Mom, I'm probably over reacting and seeing things, but I think the tract does seem to be sticking out a little farther than it normally does. ??? Right now we are watching it and I'm hoping that he will sleep it off and wake up fine in the morning. Until then I'll be up several times tonight checking to be sure he's ok. Is it possible to "tweak" the tubing? He's had several malfunctions in the past and a few infections but the last was about 7 yrs ago. Any ideas??
