Question

Hi. I met with a neck injury due to a dangerous road accident 6 years back led to a huge swelling all over my neck and an open wound which was never treated medically. I lost control over my neck for next couple of months while lying on bed. It took more than a year for my out layer to be tangible however the pain never waved. Is there any thing serious?
