Workout injury? Bad sleeping habits? Don't know...

So I noticed a little pain in the upper left part of my neck Wednesday night, started dulling by Thursday and by Friday morning it was gone. Later that afternoon I was practicing how I would self inject my glute by staring in the mirror with my neck bent to the right and downwards (first cycle, 250mg every fifth day, tried starting it a couple months ago but got a cellulitis infection after my first shot, some of you may have read my post, maybe the big guy upstairs is telling me something) and when I brought my neck back up there was an immediate sharp pain and I couldn't move my neck to the left at all, literally. There was an immense stagnant pain that wouldn't go away and hurt even more when I moved it to the left. Fast forward a couple hours, I'm at my doctors and by this point all I want to do is stare straight ahead cause anything else is unbearable and every other minute I get these intense spastic pains that make my whole body hurt even though it's just in my neck for a few seconds. Utterly painful. I was ready to burst into tears and demand a megadose of oxycotin. After some x-rays and what not, I didn't quite get a definitive answer but he concluded all my bones looked fine but I could be having such a tight muscle spasm that it was pushing my spine forward (my spine was more forward then it should be in the x-rays apparently) or it could be a mass amount of tissue build up I believe he also said. He wasn't completely sure. Told me I could workout next week though, although he doesn't really know the intensity I train at. Fast forward again, after a night of percocet, industrial strength ibuprofen and a tempurpedic pillow my neck went from some of the worst physical pain i've ever felt to just a slight dull pain over night. I'm gonna take a few days off at least and find out more, I have to call and check back in on Monday, he even mentioned possible physical therapy for it. Just thought i'd post my story if anybodys interested in a read or has had something similiar happen.

let's hope the pain doesn't flare up again when you're back in the gym.

Worked out yesterday. Back and tri's. Started light and didn't notice any pain at all so I ended up having a great workout. Even heavy rack pulls didn't irritate it. My doctor said if the pains gone, then we don't need to follow up on it right now. So, I don't know. I'm using that tempurpedic pillow every night though just in case.
