What causes severe sharp pain in the neck?
Patient: I have an odd neck pain, it doesnt actually hurt until I turn my neck wrong way or move too suddenly then it feels like I got electorcuted , I end up not moving for that moment as the pain is bad, its like I disloacted my neck temporaily, pain goes to front to ears sometimes, can bulimia cause this, i cant seem to do normal movements with my neck without getting that sharp pain anymore, this started about a week ago when I thought i slept the wrong way and it would go away Doctor: Hello,You seem to have sprained your neck. This commonly occurs due to bad posture or improper sleeping positions. I would recommend you to use pain relieving gel (local application) along with hot fomentation. Please consult a physiotherapist for correcting your posture and also to strengthen your neck muscles,Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
