Neck pain after 5.5 months getting in a car accident

good morning,

I was in a bad car accident on Jan 16, 2016, nearly 6 months ago. I went to rehab up until about a month ago because my symptoms were just about gone.

Yesterday, I was experiencing neck pain just like it was two days after the accident and it got worse throughout the day. It hurts to yawn, put my hair up, turn right and turn left and push my head forward or bend down. It starts in my lower neck and hits the top of my spine.

Is this normal? I don't want to have to start going back to rehab. Any help at all would be appreciated!

Thanks,

Mary

    Did you have an MRI or CT scan after the accident

      I've been through 3 spinal injuries and the best thing that I can say to you is get up every morning and do your stretch exercises that you have learnt at rehab. If you stop doing them it doesn't take long to catch you out again.
