Al right, thanks for that.

Regarding the neck movement, if it didn't cause symptoms I assume it would be okay to move it normally? I ask this because I plan to get my drivers license soon and the instructors are very picky about doing proper shoulder checks and such.

I was also very sensitive to jolts and bumps but it improved greatly until I went for a drive through a very bumpy road for about 2 hours. The sensitivity has somewhat come back. I discovered that there is something wrong with my neck as I felt some nerve getting irritated in my neck as soon as the vehicle hit a bump. Thereafter I would feel something stuck in my throat/upper neck for hours until it subsides the next morning . any thoughts what it might be ? Maybe its neck tissue injury and inflammation agitated ?

I think you are right about your difficulty swallowing being related to a neck injury. It gets inflamed resulting in radiculopathy of the nerve and the related dysfunction. Icing the neck may help as will good resting posture.

Thank you once again Mark for the valuable advice. After I got down from the vehicle, there was clearly a feeling of some sort of nerve/tissue inflammation/irritation in between my neck and throat below my skull. I would have constant burps and difficulty swallowing for hours thereafter. All this would start every time I hit a rough and bumpy road.

Mark, I take high dose fish oil , turmeric and B complex suppliments. Do you think this would help with my neck injury. Ofcourse I understand I need to keep a good posture along with this. Any other advice is welcome and appreciated. I am also thinking to go to a PT
