Injured neck

Hi all,

Not really sure why I’m writing this other than hoping for some support or looking for others who have gone through the same thing. I recently injured my neck (collision with someone playing soccer). I heard a crack but it didn’t really hurt, then hours later was in a lot of pain. It’s been going on and off (never perfect but less painful and then severely painful) for a month. At the worst times it feels like someone is driving a hot coal through my neck. I’m 31 and am used to working out almost every day with fitness blender. It’s kind of my therapy for my stressful job. I am so discouraged and feeling like my body will never be right again. I have an MRI booked today to try to figure out what’s happening, but realistically I’m not going to do surgery on my neck. Has anyone been through this before and come out the other side ok?
