Common Questions and Answers about Neck pain massage

neck

Avatar f tn Releasing the back of the neck from your front muscles of your neck is common. I did medical massage which was a life saver, saw a chiropractor and did physical therapy. All helped significantly. I would consider getting a full evaluation. Now, with the chiropractor, I had a huge issue with my neck being - cracked- up high, so they used other procedures.
Avatar f tn I have been having some bad pain in the right side of my neck. I have always had some neck problems but it hasn't been this bad in awhile. On top of it all my right shoulder is hurting and so is my right arm. My arm muscle is so sore and feels so heavy and tight and I haven't done a whole lot. I have taken Tylenol and tried biofreeze but nothing is working. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm 9 weeks right now.
Avatar f tn I've recently been experiencing severe neck pain. Its unbearable to even sleep at night. Any suggestions on how to subdue the pain? It'd be greatly appreciated!
Avatar f tn s way worse!!! Every time I move my neck it hurts. When I turn it to the side, Its a pretty sharp pain about an 8 out of ten that shoots all the way from the top to bottom. Letting my head lay straight down doesn't really hurt. Turning it in any way or putting it back hurts. Sleeping hurts. And I never rallied how much Swoosh my head to move my bangs until recently, when it started to hurt. I am so tired of this.
Avatar f tn I eventually had to go get a massage and the pain was gone in a couple days. It also helped with my round ligament pain! I havnt had pain like that since and I'm 36 weeks.
Avatar n tn yes i have severe pain in my neck and sholder on my right side .and its causeing sever headaches.
Avatar n tn Pay attention to your sleeping position. Try ibuprofen. Get a friend to massage your neck, looking for knots to press. Go to YouTube looking for exercises for neck pain. Get referred to a physical therapist if this doesn't resolve.
Avatar m tn t think its severe,but I do think you should continue to get that neck massage. are you stress or worried,because it might contribute to the pain be careful; are you hypertensive?, I hope I make some sense.
Avatar f tn for while now i have bad neck pain it seems to be coming from middle of my neck when the pain arrives it makes me very dizzy and can knock me of balance..its not very nice when this pain is hitting me...
Avatar f tn My neck hurts so much , the pain follows to my back , anyone else expirienceing this , if yes , what should i do to stop it , im 9 weeks ???
Avatar n tn I would think your neck nodes were swollen. Since you are sick, you may be lying in bed with more pillows and bending your neck wrong. It's just not unusual to have neck pain when you are sick, although a very stiff neck can be a sign of meningitis, so be sure you keep that in mind.
Avatar f tn I have had a chronic neck problem for years. It affects my neck and upper back - feels like the muscles are too weak to do their job - and when it's really flared up it will give me a migraine. I had asked my doctor for a referal to see a rheumatologist to make sure there's nothing 'major' going on in there, but he instead refered me to physical therapy. I had 3 visits and was given some exercises to try at home.

Avatar f tn Has anyone had a similar injury? I am 43 and had no previous back, neck pain or migraines!!! I have been told I have stenosis too. Conservative treatment has been recommended. My spinal cord did is slightly narrowed at C5-C6 but no nerve involvement. Any advice on how to cope with/cure pain?
Avatar f tn A few months ago I twisted my neck and felt a pop. I had severe pain and had very little range of motion. The pain begins at the base of my skull on the left and right side. I thought the pain would resolve on its own but it hasn't. I have been to a chiropractor, but ended up gettting severe muscle spasms in my neck. I have been to a massage therapist many times, which helps temporarilly, but I cannot afford to go weekly to keep those going. Is there anything else I can do for my neck?
1383825 tn?1315232262 I even shelled out $$$ for a deep tissue massage my neck hurt so bad. The massage helped a lot, but then today, the pain was back. In a different spot on my upper back. Do you know if this could be from detox? Oh and if anyone else has this problem, I ve also found relief from a back massager - you press it into the tight spot and get some relief from the pain. I 'lll do anything to keep from taking vicodin. That's my plan!!!
2117989 tn?1340143239 Hey, hang in there you will feel better, if not go for a massage or to a chiropractor, I went for a massage and the girl told me my neck was off, I went to the chiropractor and got alot of relief. Also advil liquid gels work good and fast. You may want to try ice as well, if there's any inflammation the ice will help. Keep going and Congrats on day 3!!
Avatar f tn Hi, Thank you for your question. Generally pain in the back portion of the head and neck pain originate from the neck problems due to irritation in the cervical (neck) spine since the nerves that supply the back of the head start in the upper cervical spine. Mostly, this kind of head pain aggravates after turning head and typically occurs in patients with previous neck injuries and in patients with marked arthritis of the upper cervical spine.
Avatar m tn Hi, I have a neck problem too. I have neck pain just by sitting and tingling and numbness in my right arm. Anyways, I found this book on how to treat your back and neck by Robin McKenzie. It gives you exercises you can do. I started doing them my condition improved a lot. I still have problems but getting better. You should give it a try.
1960024 tn?1355014582 I have had pretty severe Pain in the back of my neck that radiates into the back of my head for about 5 months now. I've seen my Dr. and at first he said a pulled muscle then when it did not go away he tried PT, still no relief so he tried these shots that numbed the area for a couple hours, but that was it. There's also lumps now, at my hairline and in the mid neck close to the spine, I decided to see another Dr.
Avatar f tn If you have had everthing else checked out then yes if you continually hold your muscles tight it is going to make you sore or hurt. The muscles need to relax off. Check your posture. Try doing PMR - (progressive muscle relaxation) or perhaps you could try a deep body (sports) massage and/or Eastern Head Massage for your head/face/arms/neck.
Avatar m tn I'm sorry you are having bad pain :(Have you gone to see a chiropractor or massage therapist? I go to Massage therapy and it does help me sometimes...as I have been told with chronic migraines...we carry a lot of tension in our neck etc... I cannot tell you what they are, but they seem to resemble migraines I get on occasion too. I have been on all sorts of meds...Topamax, Amitriptlyne, Nadalol and now I am off all those & my new neurologist has started me on Gabapentin...
