I was 12 when I first experienced the joys of this condition. I was in a math class, I turned my head and it was stuck in that position for the next three days and I was aptly told that this was due to torticollis, and since this episode, I've had to deal with this every so often, including today. I woke up this morning with what felt like a pinched nerve and then realized my head was stuck. This, of course, meant that I couldn't drive and basically couldn't move for a good portion of the day. I don't get this often, but when I do it is obviously debilitating and throws me for a loop, especially when classes are in session.
At least there's an amazing photo of a guinea pig with this condition on the Wikipedia page for it. This is pretty much what I look like when I'm dealing with it, except I'm less fuzzy. I can move my neck now, which is fantastic. Hopefully I won't deal with it again for some time to come.
