Patient's question:
I'm 20 years old this year, a few days ago, my neck got stiff. I noticed my neck was crooked and went to the hospital for an X-ray. The doctor said there were no problems with my cervical spine. He mentioned that with age, the risk of surgery is high. At home, I looked at a 6-year-old photo and didn't notice it. At 12, there was nothing, but at 16, it reappeared, causing asymmetry in my face. Now my neck is crooked, and one side is quite thick, pulling uncomfortably. I don't know what to do.Doctor's answer:
The issue you are inquiring about is the discovery that your child's neck is tilted, and imaging tests show no congenital growth and development abnormalities. Based on your description of the situation, it appears to be. You should visit the rehabilitation department of a local hospital, as it could be torticollis. Severe pain in the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Pulling, downward thrusting. The above advice is for the question "My child is 20 years old and a few days ago his neck got stiff, and after it improved, he found that his neck is tilted. What should he do?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
