Now, this is not a good thing to do. I almost knocked myself out and I heard cracks and felt intense pain and burning down my cervical spine and into my right, rear shoulder area. I hurt myself badly and I was lucky not to break my neck.
This led to an emergency room visit to rule out fractures or movement of the plate that I have in my fused neck. I haven't had pain like that since after my neck surgery two years ago.
I tried to work today but had to leave with severe pain and muscle spasms. I'm wearing my rigid neck brace now. It's hard to believe I could do something so stupid. I'll be out of service for several days or more, I'm sure. No swimming for me for a while.
