Neck pain left side
I lifted some heavy weight last night in the gum and ended up injuring my neck. Although I applied volini spray, but it is still paining. I can't move my neck to left side.

Please take rest. Meet a physician who will prescribe some anti inflammatory or muscle relaxants. If you still don’t feel relief then get an XRay done and meet a physiotherapist.
