Can using crutches for 6 to 8 weeks cause a neck sprain?

Yes it sure can or you could be sympathizing with the bad leg while sleeping and in an odd position in bed If you are on crutches wrap a very soft towel around the part that goes under your arms. Get someone to give you a good massage around your shoulders or neck. If you look in a mirror and put your weight on your crutches you will see that your shoulders are practically up around your ears and thus, a sore neck Answer You probably just have a sore neck from using the crutches improperly.

For proper use, you should support yourself on you hands, not your armpits. If you put the pads in your armpits, your upper body will be too low and you will have to tilt your head back too far to keep your head upright. If that's what you've been doing, then most likely you don't have a neck sprain.

A sprain involves torn ligaments, and if you really have that you'd be in a lot of pain and there would be swelling. Most likely your neck just has sore muscles And, just to play it safe, in case there really may be more wrong with your neck than soreness, I'd wait on the massage until it either got better or you got clearance from a doctor Then, if all is well, be sure you get a licensed professional massage therapist to do the massage. I wouldn't want just anyone to mess with my neck Good luck.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
