Neck pain looking down

Common Questions and Answers about Neck pain looking down

neck

Interesting that I have experienced quite a bit of soreness on the side and base of my neck in the front of my chest. With my other injury my neck was injured going back and forth involving different muscles down over my shoulder blades. Tapezoid area requires more support. Didn't know that I carried tension from the day in my shoulder area as much as I presently do.

Feeling kind of down. I am a 2x relapser with cirrhosis. Now, I find out I have steatosis. Losing weight is damn hard. When I think of what is coming (again), and the fact that I can't get a hold of alinia, or get my doc to ok double dosing, I wonder if it's worth it. I mean i don't feel my odds are very good for SVR. I have lately been thinking that maybe it's just the way it is, why NOT me? Thinking about dying and trying to come to terms with it. Not angry anymore....

Anyone know what to do for this stiffness and excrutiating pain. Its difficult to get food and juice and my pain pills don't touch the pain or stiffness. Please, anyone, any clue as to what to do?. The pain in my wrist is moving down to the palm of my hands and my head just hangs in front of me. HELP!

It was so painful for me that I finally got an okay to wear a soft collar at night when I slept and when I was watching tv, etc. just to prevent me from accidentally looking down or bending my neck down in my sleep! My NS said I could only use it sparingly though because it impedes the healing/strengthening of the neck muscles to wear one too much.

I have just completed one set of sit-ups and as I was going to lie down to start my second set I felt a sharp pain on the back of my neck, I believed I have pull a muscle as my neck felt very uncomfortable, it is stiff and if I look down or turn left/right it hurt very bad. Is this something I should worry about and contact my doctor asap?

The pain continued in my left side and was especially extreme when I would like down at my shirt or look down to button my jeans. Went to my gyno on Friday because I thought maybe I did have a kidney issue or something. He said my urine was fine and said something about potential muscle spasms after the chiro treatment and since my spine is used to being in a certain position all those years ( I am 29), I probably would be sore and to take Flexeril or Motrin for the pain.

I am having some pain under my right ear and down my neck, I am also having pain in my chest and back on the right side. My doctor said I have costocondritis, he put me on celebrex for 2 weeks, it did not help. He then put me on a prednesone steroid pack, on the fourth day of my pred. pack I woke up sweating and had a very fast heart beat, went to the er and they kept me in the hospital for 4 days running test. my heart was in atrial fibrilation for a day then went back to sinus rythem.

Have had a laminoctomy in L4-5 L5-S1 to relieve nerve pain down leg. Now am having pain down arms... why am I being sent to a Neurosurgeon instead of my Orthopaedic surgeon? What treatment if any would you recommend?

In fact I've had to keep a towel under my neck to help me move it when I'm laying down. When I sleep laying down I wake up from the pain every time I try and move my neck or when my husband moves in the bed. Also driving with the bumps in the road or the stop and go motion makes the pain worse. I have taken Vicodin and Motrin. Heat pads seem to help. Also the pain gets better and just turns into an ache/stiff neck during the day.

Hi there. The neck pain on lying down could be due to the cervical fusions that you had. Then you had 2 car accidents. What was the range of injury sustained during these episodes? You need to go back to the neurosurgeon again for a fresh look at the MRI neck. Pain sensitive structures in the neck like dura, nerve roots exiting from the lateral foramina could all get impinged and cause the pain.

Hi Jack I had the same symtoms, turns out I needed a 4 disc fusion with a plate inserted in my neck. Never did help with pain. I had it done in July and am still in constant pain. It starts at the bone just at the base of my neck, it gets so tender I can't even touch it, then it spreads to my right shoulder. I have tried steroid injections, pills, then when all that failed I did the surgery hoping it would help.

would you mind looking at my post about neck pain? I posted last night and it's down the list a little. . .I'm wondering if what I'm experiencing is a neurological problem or unrelated to the "probably early MS" that my dr is talking to me about. Thanks!

It is more noticable when I look down and feels like it is at the top of my neck bone and akes around the bottom left side of my skull..what type of doctore should I go and see to get this checked? Also when I was very young they said I had TMJ...but I never had any issues with this.

I started the 25mg synthroid about 60 days ago. I have pain in my neck on the left side goes down into my shoulder. What is this all about? I am confused?

I know the back muscle is very large and pain can 'fan' down as it were causing discomfort some distance from the initial injury. My GP said Ive pulled a muscle but I later read its quite uncommon and difficult to pull a muscle in your neck. It feels like something is trapped like if I could crack it it would free me from this discomfort but as I have no pins and needles o numbness my Doc said there is no trapped nerve. Can anyone offer further advice as to if this is a pull or something else.

Hi, I'm getting really bad neck pain. It is sore and stiff with pain localised around 10cm below the base of my skull. With certain movements it also sends pain down between my shoulders. I have had this before and went to see a doctor, who basically said its a sore neck and gave me some anti-inflamitory pills, which did the trick for a while. However, since then it has been getting steadily worse.

This morning I went outside with a friend and decided to go swinging for the first time in years. When swinging I leaned back and felt this sharp pain in my neck. I immediately stopped and was in pain and have been in pain for the rest of the day. The pain started and increased until I was unable to move my neck very much beyond looking straight ahead and turning it to the right about 75 degrees.

Why is it taking so long! Hope your job interview went well. Hugs, Marcia I don't know anything about having pain in the neck, but i surely know that I can be one at times.

Well, arthritis in your neck could be responsible for some of your symptoms, but don't you also have congestion and other issues that can not be traced to your neck? You know how it is, if you go looking for trouble, you often find it! However, this doesn't seem like a complete, satisfying explanation for your symptoms. It is good to go into your LLMD appointment with healthy skepticism, but I still think you should go. Just my opinion, of course.

About 9 months after the operation she was massaging her neck and felt a pain in the back of her neck. Since this time things have got worse for her. She had a crackling noise everytime she moves her head which can either be mild or quite bad depending on what she has been doing. She says it is particularly worse when she is looking up i.e hanging out the washing etc.

I'm back at work, I do a lot of reading and computer work, and my symptoms are back . Just looking for some advice.

so i've been experiencing some rather odd pain in the front/right side of the neck... it rather feels like somone is pushing on my throat with extreme force from the outside... and i was just curious if anything could be causing this having to deal with my thyroid? the pain comes and goes, lasting up to 5 minutes at a time. it makes me a little bit light headed and is just really annoying. when it started i'd get the sudden pain maybe once a day... but now it's gotten more frequent...

It occurred 7 years ago, and am still recovering. The pain from my neck to my finger tips can be terrible on some days. Fortunately, the surgery itself was not invasive. Small cut at the neck line, that is barely noticeable now. Recovery wasn't bad either, except for the pain in the arm. The surgeon did tell me, and continues to tell me, "it was nothing he did!" Thus, I don't know what happened! ;-( Drill the doctor with as many questions as you can.

i've seen the DO 4 times, seen a dentist for possible TMJ, seen an ENT (nothing wrong in my throat after looking inside), seen a neurologist (nothing neurological, he sid ) about my neck pain for 9-10 weeks. the pain subsides a bit when i am standing up and i feel the front of my neck tightening when i am sitting down. i have asked over and over but got no answer if there is some muscle pulling somewhere that's straining my neck when i sit down?
