When I explained everything to the dr, it seems it may have started when I picked my mother up when she fell in the kitchen. Then when I had that horrible cough, I remember being in a coughing spell and tried real hard to cough something up, that's when I felt something in my neck and it has hurt ever since. At first I thought it was just a pulled muscle, but it kept getting worse until I could no longer stand the pain.

It does seem a little better, but I am not going to be doing ANYTHING that could possibly keep it from getting better. I want to avoid surgery if at all possible.
