My mom said we will go only if it gets larger and/or the pain increases. At the moment it only hurts if something touches it of I bend my head the wrong way.

@superheel: I've been using ice, I was going to use the cold water 15min hot 10min rememdy but the water annoyed me to much.

You should try putting something hot there so your muscles can relax. Just hot enough that it won't burn you. Try the lemon remedy it really works.

KikiBunny23 12-05-2008 05:08 AM

I'd try it if we had lemon...haha
and I might in the morning but I want to try and get to sleep

Ice only helps right after an injury. use heat and start looking for an adult you can talk to.

yuujirou 12-05-2008 08:40 AM

hmm... a bit late on this... but....

R.I.C.E is typically the way to go for most injuries relating to stress >.>''

that is...

Rest
Ice
Compression
Elevation

and... if i'm understanding properly from what you've posted on this topic....
i don't think your stretching enough..
and you may not be warming up properly before a routine....
or.. you're just not strong enough to handle the stress of a routine x.x''

stretching 'properly' before doing anything helps warm you up and increases your over all flexibility. While your muscles are cold, they are extremely prone to injuries, so raising your internal temp by a few degrees through light exercise is the way to go =3


oh and for post injuries.. like... 24 hours after incident....
try applying cycles of warm and cold to the injured spot.
like... ice for 20 minutes, then heat for another 20, then re-ice
might help, might not.. but worth a try...

though like mmm said... ice works best when it's applied immediately after an injury...


and now that i think about it....
maybe you just have a knot in your neck? ._.''
like... maybe from excessive tensions
...try having someone massage it and see if it helps >.>'


oh....and.. on further thought... .. don't think i've ever heard of anyone ever pulling a muscle in their neck area.... =\
even when my friend got into a car accident... like.. the backlash gave a huge knot in her neck...
and after a bit of massaging over the area... she felt 'much' better >.>''

(you'll know it's a knot if a muscle is the source of pain, and when you try to squeeze it, it's tense and very stiff. also, i believe it should feel like one of those things were you try to 'pop' it but you can never really do it)

Well, it's not very stiff and it hurts to touch so I'm avoiding putting to much pressure on it. But I think I might have a clue what hapened...
My cheer coach has been making us work out with the basketball players so we are doing lunches with medicine balls and I think I might have done something to it when we held them above our heads.
Either that or I did somethin to it when I had that asthma attack from running yesterday.

Eiri 12-05-2008 05:28 PM

ouch asthma, I have that too, anywho I say rest, put some ice on that and then grab a small piece of cloth, run it thru hot water and leave it there for a bit and repeat. And I agree with yuujirou, you should try massaging the area, in any case you still need to go to the doctor, just tell your mom its hurting more

if that's the case...
it sounds like a strain

try not to use that part of your body too much
icing here and there helps

as a last resort of home remedies
try taking a hot bath
and loading the bath w/ a bit of salt
then soak for like 30 min or so

if all else fails, give it a week to see if anything happens
before going to see a doctor about it

KikiBunny23 12-05-2008 09:36 PM

Well, mom is taking me to the doctor as soon as my sister gets back. I've been having sharp pains shoot up my neck and the area where it hurts is pretty large.
I told my cheer coach and said I might be late to the game [it starts at 4pm, 3:36 right now] and she said thats fine

MMM 12-05-2008 09:42 PM

Let us know what the doctor says.
