What causes severe pain in the neck?
Patient: I was involved in a wreck on Friday, but because I'm an idiot I chose not to go to the ER haha. I was thrown from the backseat and ended up sitting on the dashboard. I cannot move my head much because my neck hurts still (it does feel a little better though). Everything else is starting to feel fine already, but should I be concerned about the neck? MRI necessary? Doctor: Hello, Welcome to HCM. I understand your concern. It is possible that you injured your neck significantly. It is better to see a traumatologist or orthopaedic, have yourself examined and the doctor would advise you what tests to have. MRI may be one of them. Take care
