A fracture in the neck refers to a fracture of the cervical spine. After a fracture of the cervical spine, the symptoms will be swelling and pressure pain at the site of the fracture as well as limited movement of the entire cervical spine, such as the inability to bend, straighten, or rotate the cervical spine and other activities. If the fracture is so severe that it affects the spinal nerves, it can cause pulling pain in the nerves in mild cases. For example, a fracture of the upper cervical spine can cause pulling pain in the head, and in the case of a fracture of the lower cervical spine, it may affect the nerve pulling pain in the back of the shoulder or the upper extremity. If the spinal nerve is compressed or damaged, it may lead to paralysis, and in severe cases, it may lead to loss of muscle strength and sensation in both upper and lower extremities, and may also lead to incontinence, and in the most severe cases, it may affect the respiratory muscles, leading to respiratory paralysis and life-threatening respiratory distress.
