last night i did sit-ups. this morning i woke up at 7:00, nothing was wrong. woke up at 10:00, my neck hurt MISERABLY. it STILL hurts, i can't turn my head or anything. it's my right side, i can't lift my right arm. it hurts too bad. i was thinking maybe it was the sit-ups, that i could have strained/pulled my neck or something. but my throat is like swollen, my ears.. i can't hear really well.. they feel full. the pain is my whole right side of my neck, front & back. please don't tell me to see the doctor. do you know what's wrong with me? has anyone else ever had this?
MAK answered Thursday March 15 2007, 2:53 am: most often things like these happen because you slept in an uncomfortable position. and its usually a couple of hours after you wake up you feel the pain, but only what you described of your neck, front, and back.
as for the throat and ears, i'm pretty sure its your lymph nodes, and you slept in a position that blocked off the circulation in your lymphatic system.
But mind you, its so hard to make a diagnosis over the internet, and especially if you arent a doctor!! so just warning you, i could be completely wrong.
but if this does not feel any better by tomorow, i would see a doctor because there might be somthing very wrong.
but meanwhile you could apply a warmed up ice pack to your neck and throat (not too hot!) which should relieve the pain a bit. also drink some hot chamomile tea.
