I alway go by the three day rule and that is if it still bothers you after three days get it looked at.

A bit of advice though: I had a numbness in my arms when I would drive for more then an hour. I thought it was from wieght lifting it got progressivley worse then the headaches came and I was up to nine to 12 asprins a day. Thought it was the wisdom tooth, thought it was the sinus operation I needed, thought it was the cigarettes (Good news is I quit smoking in 88) it was none of these. I went to the chiropractor and he said with extreme confidence heres your problem your neck is bending the opposite way and you have a compressed disc.

Now the advice part, had I gone to the chiropractor or at least not tried to diagnose the problem myself I would not have a permanently comperessed disc. After three days get your head examined LOL (sorry I could not resisit) by a doctor or chiropractor whatever you think is best. I can only tell you what worked for me. YOU must decide the best course of action yourself. I am a battery man from NJ not a doctor. LOL

The good news is every 2 weeks of chiropractor treatments keeps the pain down I take 2 or 4 asprins a MONTH now. I have to ice my neck EVERY night or I will be in pain the next day. I cant lift wieghts anymore I can climb under the car for brief periods and I cant strain myslef underneath, I must be careful for the rest of my life. I could only imagine how bad it would have got if I delayed further.

Good luck with ole "noggin"
