Stiff Neck

My neck got cranked again (by Cosmo again) last Thursday, and it’s still stiff. This is disturbing.

I first noticed the strain when my neck started to stiffen up during the drive home from 805BJJ16. I iced it right away, but it was hard to know how effective the ice pack was.

Then the pain started, right at the base of my skull. After a couple days, it spread to the right side and down between my shoulder blades. Then a couple days later it manifested as a stiffness that prevented me from moving my head/neck back and to the left.

Now I’m scared to train because I’m afraid of making the problem worse. If it’s still bothering me on Thursday, I’m going to go see my doctor about it.

EDIT: 6 days in and it seems to hurt a little bit less than yesterday, but it’s hard to know for sure. Still can’t move the head back and to the left very well, and I discovered that wiping my nose with my left hand causes a twinge in my neck.
