So I've put it off for around 3 weeks now....the other night I went to go hang out with a guy I met and we had a couple beers. I knew I had to head home that night so after we had a couple at the bar but then we drank more, it was a badly planned idea and there was some drama getting home, not with him...but cops stopped me and had my mom pick me up cause I was a little overly drunk but I didn't get in trouble but it was kind of embarrasing...

Anyways before we went and drank more beers we stopped in a 7-11 and I went to the bathroom I was only a little tipsy at this point so I am thinking the floor must have been wet or something as well but I fell head first into a corner of the bathroom with hard tile and hit my head...that left me some head pain but its healed up.........the problem is my neck it hurts to move it even normal amounts so thinking I hurt it somehow that way there is also a bit of pain in my upper back that seems to correlate with it. but it was like 3 weeks ago, probably should have gone to the doctor already, either way it still hurts so I probably should

Hellion, sorry to hear about your trauma. There are a couple ways you could go with this. Doing nothing to me is not a good option.
First thing is you should be careful as this could be a concussion situation. In that case, it could be a year for your brain to heal. Avoiding another injury is very important.
You could seek medical advice which could involve xrays or medicine therapy.
You could also seek alternatives like yoga or massage to help treat the symptoms and help get back to normal mobility.
Whatever option you seek just listen to your inner self warning you next time [QUOTE]I knew I had to head home that night so after we had a couple at the bar but then we drank more[/QUOTE

Hi, Hellion, you probably need a medical exam by your primary or at an urgent care clinic. The docs can decide if you need an x-ray or MRI. You want to rule out cracks or chips in the vertebra. They can sometimes tell just by moving your neck around.

If the bones are all right, time is probably your biggest ally. Soft tissue injury -- muscle, tendon, ligaments -- can hurt really bad for quite a while.

If the medicos give the okay, then alternative treatments as suggested by CANDC can work wonders. I've found massage therapy especially helpful.

I cracked two vertebra in a fall and they took six weeks to heal. The docs gave me instructions on what to do and not do to allow them to heal faster. The soft tissue damage hurt a lot more than the bone cracks.

That's probably the kind of info you need -- what to do and not do. I hope you heal up quickly.
