I am a 22 yr old female. I had an accident 3 years back injuring my vertebra. Implants were put in and were removed after 1 year. Now I have continuous back pain and recently I have developed severe neck pain. Since two weeks am suffering from severe neck pain with back pain. I wanaa know if this is anyway related to the accident. I find difficulty in moving my head forward and backward. Sometimes head ache comes with the neck pain.

Hi thanks for your query and welcome to lybrate. Your neck pain should not be related to your back pain because your back injury occurred 3 years back and at that time you have not mentioned any neck pain. But since your neck pain is only 2 weeks old, I advise you to take: 1) precautions while sleeping and working 2) adequate calcium and vitamin d supplementation as per requirement 3) a short course of anti-inflammatory medication 4) physical therapy with morning walks for your back and neck, initially under supervision of a trained physical therapist. Do not hesitate to contact me if you need any further assistance. Thanks & regards Dr Akshay Kumar Saxena
