Not sure where this should go, I kinda just want to know at what point should I see a professional about a neck tweak/injury.
I hurt my neck this morning, having it hyperflexed forward and to the side during BJJ (in “turtle” on my knees and head, guy on my back and he rolled forward pulling me with him, I tucked my chin but it still hurt like hell. crackling noise, Instant pain shooting to the back of the head kinda behind the ear and realised my scalp was numb there too.)
3hrs later its not too bad pain wise, hurts a bit if I look toward the opposite shoulder, but the back of my scalp is numb still… Everything I read says to see a doctor if you have numbness in the hands…Nothing about numbness in the head. I realise those nerves in the C1-3 area serve the scalp and face.
Am I at risk of anything serious by just seeing how it goes? The numbness freaks me out a little.
