Photodote #56: The first time I "cricked" my neck and believe me, there have been many times since, but, on this first occasion I was in 3rd grade and it happened during a swimming lesson. I remember turning my head in the water to catch my breath and my neck suddenly seized up in a jerked pain. I was in the deep end.
After being rescued and looked at by the pediatrician, the trouble was nothing a few days in an adult sized foam neck brace, wouldn't fix!
