- secura 9y agoCan you elaborate this? Did the cold water hurt your neck? Or did you hurt neck due to a related/unrelated accident in the shower?
- dogma1138 9y agoMost likely it didn’t hurt the neck directly but rather did not provide the normal tension reducing benefit that hot water does. On top of that your muscles do spasm a bit when you are cold which could possibly build more pressure which over a period of days/weeks would result in pretty bad stiffness.
- the_economist 9y agoI think I had a slightly stiff neck after 9 hours of sleeping, then jumping into the cold water made me jerk unnaturally, giving me neck spasms.
