in medical terms: awry, twisted to one side. Painful.
in SOH terms: bitter and twisted.

Question Author

actually, in SOH terms, I'd rather say I was gently mocking or nicely teasing as opposed to bitter...:-)

Torticollis........I am not interested as it is nothing to do with sex.

Fairweather Lover....

It could affect my sexual performance - does that count? I might not be able to get 'down' and dirty this weekend - any advice on that score?

vulcan

perhaps it was caused by sex, sqad.

Bbbananas

Question Author

It was caused by bedroom nocturnal activity actually - (reading without being properly propped up).

Sqad

vulcan......good point ......never thought of that.

salla......couldn't care less about your sex weekend unless it involved me .........and if it did, not being able to move ypur head would be of little consequence to sqaddy.................position 53 with 2 pillows.

I used to know a parrot with a wry neck. It was so bent that it always looked up or to the side. Lived to a ripe old age.

cos you can get away with a lot if you're pretty - even if you're neck's twisted.

I'd have said "again I had it when I was 14"

No disrespect but I thought this was more commonly suffered by teenagers.

In my case my neck pretty much locked up and they gave me a muscle relaxant - was better in a day or so and I never suffered again

vulcan

according to the RSPB, the wryneck is a woodpecker with a large head and long tongue.;-)

I'm no teenager jake, but no geriatric either.
A slug of sloe gin will help, of that I am sure.
