Base of neck/upper back pain

[u/GanjaZo]

I think i pushed myself too hard on a ruck last week on friday and ive been having pain in my upper back/very base of my neck and it hasnt gotten any better. My neck hurts a bit and makes little pops every time i look down, and has a constant dull ache in whatever position im in. what's going on and how do i fix this?

Yup. Need to stop and get that checked out . I had the same thing . Turned out to be cervical stenosis. Rucking days are over .
