How to treat neck pain after concussion?

Haan na, concussion ke baad neck pain bahut heavy ho jata hai. Heavy massage mat karna bilkul bhi, physically harmful ho sakta hai. Just gentle ice pack apply karo aur quiet room mein rest karo thoda.

I totally get it, that constant dull ache in the neck after a head bump is exhausting. It makes it so hard to concentrate on anything. Please get it checked by a neurologist to rule out any nerve strain or whip-lash.

Same happened to me, please don't use high pillows right now. Keeping the neck straight while sleeping helped ease my pain a lot.

Concussions are very sensitive matters, so please do not apply any hard pressure or balms on the neck. You can use a warm compress gently if there is no swelling, but let your doctor guide you first.

If your doctor has cleared you from any serious head injury risks, very light walking can help improve blood flow and ease neck stiffness. Avoid any stretching or neck rotations until a physiotherapist formally evaluates your neck alignment.

I actually bumped my head last week and now my upper neck feels very stiff. Is it safe to use a heating pad, or should I go to the clinic immediately? I'm a bit scared about doing the wrong thing.
