I'm doing ice/heat right now, is there any quick fix? It hurts a fair amount.

Nope, you're screwed. How have you been typing this? Must suck being paralyzed from the neck-down.

don't use heat even though it feels good. Heat will increase the blood flow to the area and actually make the swelling worse. Ice 20 mins on 20 mins off is what you want to do.

np. it's not exactly a quick fix though, but it's what you need to do. the only quick fix that there is is a hefty dose of opiates. and that's obviously more of a mask than a fix.

along with the ice - add 400-800 mg of ibuprofen as it's an anti-inflammatory. i'd also recommend a trip to your chiropractor. go get you some crack. that's your sure-fire fix.

haha this guy knows whats up


you probably just slept on it wrong homie. ice and rest it for a little while, it's happened to me before, the pain will subside within 2-3 days.
