Patient's question:
I'm 20 years old this year, a few days ago, my neck got stiff. After it healed, I noticed my neck was crooked and went to the hospital for X-rays. 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, but couldn't see it. At 12, it was a bit noticeable, and at 16, it reappeared again, causing asymmetry in my face. Now my neck is crooked, and one side is thicker, 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 cervical spine is tilted. X-ray examination revealed no congenital growth and development abnormalities. Based on your description of the situation, it appears to be the case. It is recommended to visit the rehabilitation department of a local hospital, as it could be spasmodic torticollis. Severe pain in the sternocleidomastoid muscle. Pulling and downward manipulation. The above advice is for the question "My child is 20 years old and a few days ago, after his neck got stiff, it improved, but then he noticed his neck is tilted. What should I do?" It is hoped that this will be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
