Visit spine specialist

Giving the timeline and symptoms you’ve described, it appears the neck pain could have turned into a chronic issue, potentially involving the muscles, ligaments, or even some strain on the cervical spine. Pulling your hair might have caused muscle strain or even aggravated an underlying condition, and continued pain after trying various treatments like traction and TENS suggests that the root cause might not have been fully addressed. First, it’s crucial to revisit the diagnostic evaluation with your doctor. An MRI or X-ray could really help visualize any musculoskeletal abnormalities or issues in the cervical spine as those might not always be visible through regular clinical examination alone. Accurate diagnosis is key here. Now, regarding traction, since it worsened your situation, it’s vital to pause it and consult with perhaps a different specialist to review this advice. Not everyone responds the same to traction or ultrasound therapy. Medications like Powergesic, a painkiller, or Zix MR, a muscle relaxant, could provide symptomatic relief, but if they aren’t helping, altering the approach might be beneficial. Prescription options like gabapentin or pregabalin can assist if nerve irritation is involved. Focus on a structured rehabilitation program—therapists experienced in chronic pain might introduce low-impact exercises that strengthen neck muscles without exacerbating the pain. Behavioral therapies or even counseling can address any components like stress or tension aggravating your neck. Throughout this, monitor any other symptoms; if you notice numbness, tingling, or weakness, report these urgently to your clinician as they could signify nerve involvement. Remember to ask about potential surgical assessments if non-invasive therapies continually fail over time. This isn’t typical for your described injury, but it’s essential to explore fully to end unnecessary discomfort.
