What can it be if my neck hurts??

Question

Today I was playing wrestling with my 13 year old brother and I guess that he is kinda strong because he grabbed me by the neck and I was just laughing and cause it didnt hurt... but when I walked a little..I COULDN'T TWIST MY NECK !it hurts when I twist it ..do you think this means my neck is broken?

Answer 1

I seriously doubt your neck is broken from what you've stated, however the bones in you neck may be not moving properly because of you and your brother's horseplay, this can cause the muscles around the area to swell and become pain full also. Use Ice for 15 min every hour to help reduce swelling if it's still pain full in a day or two, I recommend seeing a chiropractor.

Answer 2

No bones or vertabrae are fractured.  Not mechanically possible, re:  load or forces applied and strength etc.

It should be a pulled muscle, worse if a tendon, with a pinched nerve.
