Neck Meat

Yesterday, had a morning seadoo pull. I had one awkward/hard fall but nothing crazy, felt fine the rest of the day.
Anyways, this morning I can't move my neck and shoulders.
Is this whiplash? How long does this last? Anyone else experience anything like this? Will I be winching later today?

Sounds like whiplash, I just had it not too long ago. It'll last 3-4 days. Just take painkillers and it'll be fine. If it ever gets really bad put a hot compress on your neck to loosen the muscles.

I did something very similar to this, It ended up being a herniated disc. It sucked real bad and I was supposed to get surgery. I stuck it out and my body fixed itself but it took a while. Are you getting any strange sharp or dull pains through out the middle of your shoulder blades and into your arms?

When I first started out, I was like that all the time man. I just popped a few painkillers and still went out. Once you're on your board, the pain tends to go away and you just focus on riding.......

I would love to focus on riding right now.
I want to winch a gap latter today or at least score some boat time.

For now it is ice pack, painkillers and medicl advice via the phone.

bakingpowderkeg, we should ride

Somethin similar happened to me yet its still a mdeical mystery. Slowly got a neck cramp to the point of extreme pain if i moved at all. Went to the ER gave me pain meds and let it undo itself. Question

I have consulted a paramedic and have some knowledge of similar injuries and we have decided that if it is not better by Monday, I will seek some of our free health care.
I refuse to wait at a hospital when it is beatiful outside and brown santa just arrived

In my recovery process, I found a glory hole for winching

We are talking Rocky mountians everywhere, artic sea bass jumping non-stop and not that many people.
