Jacked up neck, can't drive my baby - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I guess I slept wrong this weekend or something else, but I haven't been able to turn my head to the left which is sad because I can't drive my baby! I was gone all weekend and couldn't wait to get in and go wash her and everything but maybe tomorrow? I could drive, but I'd feel bad for the guy in the next lane:(

Go see your doctor if it is that bad. I did that about a year ago and couldn't believe the pain. I couldn't move my head at all. I had to be driven to my doctor, who prescribed some relaxers to ease the tension. They weren't painkillers, and took about 12 hours to work, slowly but surely, but the next day I was much better!

Not being able to turn your head to the left wont make your blind spot any worse.

joeysSS · 07-25-2011, 04:08 PM

Well it doesn't help that's for sure. I have my mirrors correctly positioned but I still do a quick glance over before I chg lanes. If it's not better by tomorrow I'll go see the doc.

I pulled/tore a muscle in my back close to my spine about 5 months ago lifting a 100 lb bag of horse feed wrong.

Was some of the worst pain. Last almost 2-1/2 weeks and spent about $50-$70 on icy hot patches. Took 6 liquid gel advil every 6 hours and that barely helped.

Take alot of pain pills and drink a 6 pack; you'll be able to turn your head in a full circle AND drive!!

had a messed up nerve in my neck and couldn't look over my left shoulder and I just had to turn at the hips a bit more to see over that side, it hurt a bit but I made it work.

I'll be there in...NJ -> OK, umm, 12 hours. Don't move.

Sorry to hear that...

I'm going to the Dr. in the morning. I picked up Mountain Biking and must have pulled something, intense pain.

2011ss/rs · 07-25-2011, 09:42 PM

Go to a chiropractor for a tune up

joeysSS · 07-25-2011, 11:39 PM

@ hook em, yeah Mtn biking does that to ya! You should see my husbands friend from a crash this weekend. Brutal!!!! I love it too but not so brave. Love the road better. Neck still hurts but I drove anyways. Doing the fuse pull tonight too. Maybe it'll make up for my bum neck? Hopefully it'll be whip lash!

Oh and I also hurt my right foot and I have to clutch, brake and gas all with my left foot.

That sucks, but you definately shouldn't be driving.
