Hi all! A quick background on the story. I'm a 25 year old Sandan. Last year I got injured (fell on asphalt at full force) - and my head hit the ground a bit. I had to stop training ever since because of pain. I can't even jog without my neck hurting. Ever since, I've been put onto pain killers that I have to take every day to stop my neck spasms. When I take the pain killers, my neck is back to normal for a while and then the pain starts increasing progressively until it becomes too much for me to handle. Physiotherapy, massage, osteopathy and a chiropractor didn't help. The doctor didn't know what to do either. Now that I don't have anyone else to turn to, I thought I might as well ask the karate forum members. Has anyone had a similar injury/pain and got it resolved? What did you do? What type of exercices? How often did you do them? etc. Thanks so much for the help!
