3. Tingling
No one wants to feel tingling in their neck for an extended period of time. The feeling might not necessarily be too painful, but it can be just about as annoying as it’s possible for a symptom to be.
We’re not talking about the first love or first kiss kind of tingly feeling here, or even the hair sticking up on your neck horror movie tingle either. This tingling sensation is one that tends to come on in conjunction with numbness and swelling and can last for periods of time stretching from a few hours to a few days.
Some people are able to power on through symptoms like this, seeking distractions rather than a total cessation of the tingling, and there have been stories of famous sportspeople continuing to perform at high levels whilst experiencing these symptoms.
These sportspeople have gone on to develop cervical radiculopathies and found further problems down the line, all because they ignored the tingling sensation when it first arrived.
