Orthopedist Questions Neck Pain

What should I do about consistent neck pain?

I fell on my left shoulder last month. My fingers are still numb and my neck is stiff and extremely sore. What should I do to address this injury?

Neck stiffness, numbness, tingling all indicate the nerves are irritated. Try period of rest, antiinflammatory medication and perhaps some light neck exercises. If no improvement see physician for more thorough exam, radiographs and possible MRI. Good Luck.
See an orthopedic spine surgeon who can also exam your shoulder for other issues that may not be from your cervical spine
You should see a physician for diagnosis and treatment.
Go to an orthopedic doctor, let him examine you, and then he'll probably get an MRI of your neck.
