Near the end of the chat my neck literally just went "BANG". It was a full blown spasm/seizure. Clamped right down. Full force. Like a vice.

Usually I push through, but this time I couldn't. I said I had to go. I tried trigger pointing it, stretching it, panadol, heat packs, then a looooong hot shower. With no relief and a relentlessness that outdid any of my broken bones I decided to take some palexia (opiods), put on the heat pack, and go to bed.

I didn't sleep a wink all night. The palexia didn’t do a thing. I contemplated hospital but it seemed ridculous.

The next day I got into a local physio who said this kind of rigidity/stiffness could only be caused by a head on colission, falling out of bed... and he even checked I wasn't at the hands of a violent person (in a really kind and respectful way). I explained it happens a bit, with no known trigger, but this was my worst one. He helped to get me relief, but each time we got some movement it seized back up.

We booked follow up appointments and put in place some stretches etc to do from home to try help.
