I guess this is best way to describe it. Two weeks ago, while being driven home by access-a-ride, I can't drive anymore, the driver suddenly stepped on the brake, and my head snapped forward, backward, and instantly felt a sharp pain in my left neck, where I had several surgeries, no neck muscle, and a flap. I didn't think much of it, but was in slight pain. Later that night it progressively got worse, could not tun my head at all or lift my head off the pillow without assistance of my hand. I happened to have an ENT appointment the following morning, and he immediately asked why is my head was tilted, and shoulder slumped, which he said wasn't like that before, and had me lift my arms, which is significantly different in raising. Anyway, we got caught up in other issues, blood, kidney levels, scans, rescan and need to go to my doctor right away, we sort of got off tract of my neck.

Anyway, my neck is still bothering me, have pain, and headaches. I had no major problems before, until now frown and ironic I went through three neck dissections, several treatments, only to be injured for an unwise move. I kind of learned my lesson for not wearing a seatbelt, not required in the back seat, and trying to put my jacket on while driving with my hands behind my back. Sometimes you think you are invincible lol. I think I"ll act more safer in the future.
