Could constant sore neck, out of line lower jaw after tooth extraction and cracking the neck mean damaged nerves?
Patient: Hello. I allowed somebody, untrained to crack my neck a year ago. Since then. I cannot seem to keep my head straight and my neck is always sore. I am wondering if my nerves have been permanently damaged. Also, I had impacted wisdom teeth removed from my lower jaw, and since then my jaw has been out of line, I am needing to have the top two removed, will this balance out my face again? Doctor: Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly    thanks for using healthcaremagic site ,I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..  In my opinion such injuries to spine or to the nerves coming out of it to supply your neck may take a long time to resolve completely as any other nerve injury that requires time to resolve in addition to your tooth extraction that may have exagerrated your pain a little i think the removal of other jaw may improve your facial expression but i suggest CT , MRI to exclude any cervical disc herniation and for proper management of your neck problem completely .
