Woman dislocates her neck by sneezing

Sneezing is caused by irritation to the mucous membranes of the nose or throat. It can be very bothersome, but is generally not a sign of a serious problem. But in this case it is a problem...
As a women dislocated her neck by sneezing.


While sitting up in bed two weeks ago, Monique Jeffery, 28, sneezed twice and dislocated two vertebrae in her neck, leaving her unable to move. Luckily, she already had her phone in her hand and was able to call for help.
Monique said: “I just knew something was wrong. I felt something move and I was in excruciating pain.”
First tests suggested Monique had only given herself a stiff neck because of muscle spasms, but later symptoms meant a dash to hospital, where the emergency trauma unit discovered the real problem!
What do you think? Have you ever injured yourself by sneezing or coughing?
