In October 2014, i was out on site with work when i felt a tiny little ‘crick’ in the right side of my neck. 5 minutes later i couldn’t move my head and was getting spasms that felt like electric shocks travelling into my skull. I was gripping the dashboard of the car with both hands and having to cry out loud with the pain – it was the most painful thing i have ever experienced. The pain subsided after three days, but since then, the movement in my neck has been restricted and the muscle has been tight. Three weeks ago, it happened again. I booked in to see a chiropractor and have been having weekly sessions. She said it was due to sciatica in my spine/neck and the tight muscle was the bodies reaction to protect it. Anyway, the spine issue is now fixed, but the muscle is still in spasm and i have torticollis. The chiropractor doesn’t know why the muscle hasnt relaxed.
It really isnt fun as i’m always in fear of the bad spasms occuring out of the blue as they effectively floor me and i cannot function.
