What the hell did I miss??? I have had similar incidents as you describe. One of the many fitness/rehab centers I went to prescribed this exercise: on back, head hanging over end of weight bench, hold a 3 lb weight on your forehead and lift your head several times. Turn over on stomach, and reverse. [Insert standard disclaimer here.] whiplash??? What the hell did I miss???

Injuries often take so long to heal that the real challenge is dealing with the mental aspects of the injury rather than the physical ones. Strengthening the muscles should help. Do you stretch your neck and back regularly? If not, then that would help as well. Happy to hear you are feeling better.

I have learned that my injuries seem to stem from being strong in one area and weak in another. So the overall training and making sure I work everything seems to be the key. Good luck!
