Okay so my sister and I were being stupid and roughhousing,I was sitting at the computer, she came up behind me and at the time I had my head turned to face her. While my head was turned around, she pushed my back forward while my neck was leaned quite far back. I felt a sudden pain and yelled at her to stop, and she did. My neck felt like it went too far back. It wasn't like a fast shove or anything, she was just being stupid and pushing my back forward pretty slowly, but the pain was bad, and I freaked out. The pain immediately stopped after I sat up straight, but now I'm really freaked out that my neck was bent too far, that I might have broken my neck, and that I've severed my spinal cord or something!
No other symptoms, apart from the tiniest twinge at the side when I move my neck. No current neck pain or numbness or anything, I'm walking around fine, but I'm scared because I've heard some people don't realize their neck is broken until hours later! I'm so freaked out. Should I go up to hospital? My family is telling me to stop being so melodramatic and that if I'd broken my neck I'd be dead by now, but my irrational brain is still freaked out...:weep:
