So my day started off like most. got up, went to school, came home. Around 6pm my sis and I go to the gym. everything was going good until i started messing around on the trampoline with some friends. Just throwing some front flips, rodeos, mistys and what not. We started to try some rolls. I landed some 900s fine. but on my 5th time i dove to far forward with my head. so i ended up landing on my head, sliding of the tramp onto my head, and rag dolling over it. I heard a very loud pop and what sounded like a crack. I then tried to move my neck. side to side was fine. moving it forward hurt but i cant move it back. So I go home. Take some oxycodone and go to the ER. I got there at about 8:15pm. So i sit there, and sit there(you know how ERs are). So at around 9:30 I go take some x-rays. So of course there are no doctors avalible. so I sit there for another hour and a half. Finally get a perscription for some vicoden and go home. I will be getting a call from my doctor tomorrow telling me what's wrong. So here is where NS comes in.

I am not able to move my neck back. and i am having some twitching in the side of my neck. It hurts like a bitch of course. Has anyone ever done anything like this?
 
Sounds like the US healthcare system I've been hearing about from the doctors I know.

Go in to a clinic tomorrow and get this checked out, you may have fucked a disc or a facet.
 
ya i will for sure go to the clinic tomorrow. but the nurse said i may need an MRI which I can not get. when i was 6 months old a broke my skull and now have 5 metal pins in it which prohibit me from getting an mri
 
there are a lot of nerves in your neck and surrounding it and if you get twitching and stuff, those nerves you fucked coulda done it. bonewise you coulda fucked up one of your discs, don't listen to me i am not a doctor i dont know what exactly happened to you even though sports medicine is my major.
 
They can do a lot of other tests to determine whats wrong. Ironically enough, the device I sued to work with and brought to clinical testing could help you, but it wont be in general use for a few more years.

Sorry.
 
i may be able to help... over the past 2 seasons ive had major neck problems

last season i dropt a cliff in bad light and landed earlier than expected, fell and rolled over myself. that night i couldnt move my neck much at all and couldnt move my arm. i was super scared that id really fucked myself. i rang my physio first coz i know her real well and she did some tests, she worked out over the phone that its likely that i have nerve damage and some muscle damage also. when i got home we started treatment. i had torn some nervs in my neck, it was pretty bad and was fairly frustrating. luckily that was at the end of the season. this season started and had a fall, neck was fucked again, this time had pulled the fluid of my discs or some shit, i dont actually know. but my neck was mad stiff for a few days, this happend 3 times this season, im still having treatment. the good news is that i skid with this all the time, its just frustrating the on going treatment i have to go through. i just realised a short story, sorry, hope it helped tho lol!
 
^ yes. take care and rest. your neck is important and you only get one of them. Whatever you do, do NOT go back on your tramp, or do any strenuous activity for a LONG time. Because you can prolong your recovery time. The most important thing is to rest your neck until it heals, and be confident that you will get better. Depending on what they find/ do not find in the x rays, they may want to take a CT of your neck to look specifically for disc and/or spinal cord compression. If they don't find anything wrong my guess is you will likely be diagnosed with cervical strain and may be prescribed a muscle relaxant. In the meantime, for muscle spasms use Heat and Ice. Heat 10 min, Ice 20 min, rest 10, repeat. If they don't find anything in the pictures they take of your neck, the Doctors will most likely not be able to pinpoint anything, and you will just eventually get better.

You WILL get better, that's the key word, believe it, and you will recover faster. Doctors have linked depression to neck injuries and I think there are studies about how it prolongs recovery time. When you start feeling better take it EASY for a LONG time, believe me, you have no idea what could possibly be ahead of you if you don't.

I had a whiplash type neck injury in May, I didn't let it heal long enough, as soon as I felt better I started windsurfing again, doing big forward loops landing on my head and stuff, well what do you know, I re-injured it, everything came back, and it was much worse. I had to take a entire term off of school for this fall, quit work, move back in with my parents, and now that it's October i'm finally making a recovery 4 and 1/2 months later. Absolutely the most debilitating shit I have ever gone through.

I feel for you man and sincerely hope you have a fast, full recovery, unlike myself.

Let me know if you have any questions, I would be more than happy to help you with anything. Also let me know if you have any new symptoms, especially mental symptoms, such as difficulty concentrating. I don't want to scare you or anything I just want you to know that they can show up commonly with neck injuries, I had them.
 
i actually think you can get a mri cuz i have pins in and plates in my arm and the said i can still get mris
 
go see a chiropractor. ive been rag dolled countless times barefoot waterskiing and yanked my neck all over the place...sometimes to the point of not being able to move my head in any direction. 3-5 days and a couple of trips to the chiro and I'm always good to go...shits amazing.
 
After consulting Wikipedia and my vast array of medical textbooks I have come to find that you have Typhoid. Seek medical attention asap.
 
sounds like someone is jealous of our superior health care system...believe me privatized/our health system is better than canadas
