I got told at work that im not to do any lifting or anything that could possibly hurt me on the job.
Now i got told this like 10 mins before i went to give one of the residents a bath...i knew not to lift or anything anyway but thats not where im going with this....anyway, as i was getting him out the bath he slipped...and i caught him....not good.
he was fine, and i thought i was too.
I think i may have strianed my neck cos now its actually quite painfull and although i can move it about and stuff it just hurts do to anything.
What should i do?

If it's sore, then ice packs (or something cold) may help to reduce swelling an inflamation, and of course a good rub or massage may help overcome the stiffness that you'll have over the next few days. However, I'm not a doctor, so I don't know if those are the best things to do, or to be avoided. *shrugs* Ask at work, and see what they say.
