about 2 years ago, I was drying my hair w/ a towel and had a sudden sharp pain in my lower neck by my right shoulder. The pain shot up my neck to the right middle part of the back of my head. It felt as if it went up, to the right and then branched out like tree roots. Like all the blood was instantly sucked out. It knocked me to the ground for about 60 seconds. I didn't have health insurance (full-time student, part-time worker) at the time. The back of my head hurt for awhile, but has gotten better. Now, when I sleep in a certain position for too long, or carry heavy equipment, it hurts the back of my head in the "tree roots" spot. Is this something to be concerned about? I worked in a 1-hr photo lab, and the day after it happned I tried to lift the 30-lb paper magazine over my head onto the printer, and I dropped it, b/c of the massive pain to the spot in the back of my head. It seems it was caused by that repeated motion several times/day at work. Will the pain go away?
