Common Questions and Answers about Neck and shoulder pain after car accident

neck

Avatar f tn About 2 years ago, I was in a car accident where the car rolled over several times and I suffered considerable whiplash and bruising, but no other serious injuries. It took about 3 weeks after the accident to regain normal function in my neck. Ever since that time, I suffer periodic bouts with neck/shoulder pain. They occur randomly, and I haven't been able to pinpoint any pattern in what might be causing the onset of pain. I've just assumed it was from a muscle spasm.

Avatar f tn I had a car accident several years ago and ended up with severe whiplash, now the bones in my neck are straight instead of having the natural curve. I have weakness in the arms, along with pain. The muscles on both sides of the neck stay tight at all times. I also have headaches that start at the base of my skull and radiate to the front. I also get painful "knots" in the muscle at the base of my skull. My shoulders also have a constant pain in them.

Avatar n tn t lay on the back of my head/occipital without feeling undue pressure and discomfort. I cannot bend my neck downward without the same pressure and pain after just a few repetitions - like 3. Coughing, sneezing etc. cause pressure and pain. I also have degeneration and injury to the cervical spine where an MRI and CAT scan were done and showed damage. I had nausea for a couple of weeks after the accident and couldn't eat. None has done any testing on my head.
Avatar m tn I felt numbness on my right hand in the first few minutes after the accident and then started to feel pain all over my right hand, right arm and right shoulder. The next morning, I felt headache. Now 3 days have passed, every time I move my right arm, I feel pain, sometimes on my fingers, sometimes on my wrist, sometimes on the arm itself, sometimes on the shoulder. When I turn around my neck, I feel pain as well. Headache is on and off.

Avatar m tn In Aug 07 I was rear ended by a truck. Since day one I had severe neck and shoulder pain...about a month and half later they found a goiter that showed up in my mri. Now a little over a year later I have all kinds of nodules with the goiter. Can these nodules form from whiplash injury or is this just a coincidence? I still have not been able to return to work due to neck, shoulder and right arm pain.
Avatar n tn I was in physical therapy for about ten months after a car accident years ago. (I was rear ended and subsequently ran into the car in front of me.) It is a hard slow process and I never have gotten fully back to pre-accident condition, but improved greatly with therapy and I do hope you will find improvement soon. You might want to try besides moist heat, gentle massage and/or acupuncture in your quest for recovery.
Avatar m tn I was fine at the scene but shortly after I started having a pain in my right shoulder, headache and neck pain. The same day I made an appt wiht my my primary care physician and she diagnosed me with whiplash. I was placed on pain meds as well as a muscle relaxer. My headache has never really gone away, I have a dull ache thats constant. For the last 2 days I have experienced facial spasms on the right side of my face into my cheekbone.
1400107 tn?1280780449 My lower back and hip hurt so much at times now, and my neck as well. I sometimes have pain that radiates from my shoulder to my wrists, and sometimes just my joints in my fingers hurt. I also have radiating pain from my hip down to my knees and sometimes down to my ankles. Sometimes I hurt in the front hip/pelvic area. Lately I have also had pain in my left sidejust under my ribs. The headaches are everyday. Almost migraine status. IDK what to do anymore.
Avatar f tn He still has the same type of headaches, loss of power and feeling and sensation to the right side of his body, blurred vision in his left eye and neck pain. Constanly being told he is very lucky!!! Could the car accident have been a factor in the brain hemmorhage?
Avatar m tn My chiropractor, I have neck and back issues, says that sometimes if you have a problem with neck pain it can connect with your shoulder. My husband actually has problems with his right shoulder and neck. He picked up something really heavy while helping his mom and dad at their house and threw out his shoulder. That was last year and he's still having problems with his right shoulder and neck. There is something called referred pain.
Avatar f tn Don't know, but celiac disease can cause thyroid issues. I have celiac and have Hashimotot's thyroiditis. It caused a nodule near / on my Adams' apple. The doc did a FNA (fine needle aspiration) on it to determine the status. Pretty easy, he just stuck a small needle in the mass and send the sample for testing. No pain at all..

455209 tn?1205956133 Chronic head, neck ,upper shoulder and orofacial pain is significantly associated with temporomandibular disorder. Seeing a tmj specialist is advised.
Avatar f tn A little over a year ago I was in a car accident, and have suffered from neck pain since.I have failed physicl therapy, I do use a tens unit almost daily, motrin, and numerous other prescrittions, all failed so far, to alleviate pain and give me back mobility. I get trigger point injections as well when needed. I have not slept in a bed or used a pillow since the injury occured, lying on floor is the best way I have found for me to sleep. My dr. prescribed cymbalta, that gives me headaches...

Avatar n tn I was extremely lucky and have no paralysis. I am however now experiencing great pain in my neck and shoulder with numbness in my right thumb. Any advise would be gratly appreciated. I have an appointment with the neurologist in 3 weeks. I am also seeing a massage therapist but the massage helps for a little while and then the pain returns.
Avatar m tn hiya, i had an accident the 3rd week of april but didnt do anything my car was lifted of from the side. and had a shoulder pain after 4 weeks,my question is, is my shoulder pain related to my accident, whats the longest time you will feel any symptoms after the accident?
Avatar n tn You should first assess your damage. No fractures etc then take anti inflammatory drugs and rest for couple of days and after regaining some strength and no major problem you should get back to work. Take care!
Avatar f tn But i have bruises on my stomach, side, and chest. And im having lower back and shoulder pain. I might need to go to a physical therapist but idk yet. Im just wondering has anyone else gone through this? Sorry so long.
Avatar f tn I am trying to figure out the pain I am having in my neck/shoulder. I have constant pain in my shoulder blade and on top of that, I have pain that radiates from the base of my skull, down my neck and into my arm. I also have a tight pain (as if something is tearing) in my upper arm when I tilt my head backwards. Any ideas?
1245842 tn?1287830051 Yes, a car accident can absolutely cause FM. Also can a a severe emotional trauma. I was in a fatal car accident in which my Mom died....I was driving the car. The accident and the trauma brought on FM. The straw the broke the camel's back was when I fell about a year after the accident and had a severe shoulder injury. Within five months I couldn't get out of bed. That was in 1995 and my life has never been the same. I lost it really. I'm just surviving day to day.
Avatar f tn My mom met someone (a stranger) who had neck surgery and was on a pain medication pump, feeling they were worse of than before the surgery and wishing they had never had it.
Avatar n tn Since a serious car accident about 12 years ago, I've had quite a bit of neck and back pain, but I've been able to more or less deal with it. About a month ago, I began waking up with my upper back very stiff and sore. The pain would eventually work itself out and I would be left with my usual muscle aches. A couple of weeks ago, I began getting a tingling feeling spreading from behind my right shoulder blad, into the back of my upper arm, and even rasdiating around to my chest area.
