| Other than any insurance type issues.....
usual advice is don't dive "until it stops hurting". One could argue that the water would support your neck etc, but you wouldn't want to be underwater if your neck or back went into spasm. There is also the getting kit on and off etc to consider.
Finally there would also be possible issues with medication and depth, where some drugs have strange effects when you are under pressure (atmospheric rather than emotional!)
and, taking pain killers may also mask any diving related symptoms that might need urgent attention (DCI).
My advice would be consult a diving doctor for advice, but probably wait until you have full movement without pain/drugs.
Hope you feel better soon. |
