He seemed to be in pain every time the vet tried to turn his head that way. He put him on anti-inflammatory medication for now, and he will follow up in a week. But I can see how much of a difference it has already made. He is doing his "circles" again, and doesn't cry when picked up any more. He still does seem a little stiff, but way better than before, more active too.
wow poor guy - make sure to do nsaids if that is what was given metacam mid meal and NEVER on empty stomach - sometimes pain is your best advocate though as it will make him rest as they need to rest a sore muscle so if he is running around and meds allow him to do this then he will not heal as fast so just keep that in mind
