So this actually occurred 3-4 years ago and I only found out today what’s actually wrong.
My partner and I, both women, decided to have some fun one night. At some point I was doing myself with a toy while also doing my girlfriend. We were laying in an L shape and I think the problem was that I couldn’t stretch my arm out as much as I needed to. As the big finish occurred I felt a muscle pull at the back of my neck as far as I thought it could go and then it stretched even more. I can only imagine comparing it to stretching a deflated balloon so far the color distorts.
The pain was immediate and confusing cause I was right in the middle. It felt like a ton of fire ants marching up and down that muscle and like I could suddenly puke.
I just assumed it was a neck strain from hell and it took a few weeks to start feeling like a functional human again. I had to stop using a pillow and be careful how I turned my neck. Now, I still don’t use a pillow, which I actually kind of enjoy now, alcohol can make the injury flair (inflammation), and the flairs can give me massive tension headaches that make me nauseous. Even half a beer can do it. I’m not a huge drinker but I’d like to go back to enjoying a single drink without worry.
The first time I went to the doctor for it, maybe 2 years after, she didn’t take me seriously and just suggested painkillers. I finally went to a different doctor a few weeks ago and she immediately sent me for an X-ray.
Results: I have straightening of the cervical spine. You’re supposed to have a natural curve. The tension from it can cause fatigue, neck and back pain, headaches. Google describes it as an injury that would occur during sudden traumatic accidents such as a car accident. Described like that I certainly did a number on myself.
I’m now set up for physical therapy and painkillers. An MRI will follow if PT doesn’t help after a few months.
Edit - to clarify, I felt the strain coming on before it actually hit and I still kept going. I could’ve prevented years of pain if I’d just stopped.
TL;DR - caused myself to have straightening of the spine during sex which has resulted in 3-4 years of neck pain and tension headaches.
