Common Questions and Answers about Neck and shoulder pain muscle strain
neck
you need to consult an orthopaedician or a neurologist to examine you and do certain imaging like MRI spine, nerve conduction velocity studies to check if there is nerve compression, x-ray of the shoulder joint to check for any fracture, trauma etc. Muscle pull or excessive muscle strain in shoulder, vigorous exercise and weight training could also cause these symptoms. Hope this helps. Take care.
Sometimes the pain goes over my shoulder into my back between the shoulder blades. I have had tons of Cardio test and have pasted them all. It feels like the muscle are always "clinched" or flexed. It seems to bother me more when I do faster runs then long runs. It has become a constant pain that flairs up on occasion. Any suggestions?
i have been dealing with shoulder pain for the last 3 years. X-rays, MRI's, and numerous different types of doctors have been unable to help me with my shoulder pain.
Are you familiar with RSI's? Repetitive-Strain Injuries. Our best guess is that i have an RSI in my shoulder.
RSI's are commonly known as carpal-tunnel syndrom or tennis-elbow. An RSI is a build up of scar tissue which causes the affected muscle to not glide against the surrounding muscles smoothly.
It sounds as though it is muscle strain. Muscle strain can cause a burning feeling. You problably are right handed and use it the most. The position and motion is over working and pulling. You can take Tylenol and Aleve, starting at the same time, then just go by the bottle instructions for each for the following dosage time. That should help with the pain and inflammation. Heat will help. Heating pads is what I usually use.
Feeling dizzy on standing up could be due to fall in blood pressure (called postural hypotension), ear problems, cervical spondylitis and inflamed muscles in the neck (sternocleidomastoid). The latter two can also cause pain in the area between your neck and shoulder. Severe acidity with gastric reflux too can cause dizziness. Please discuss with your doctor. You will need some tests for a confirmed diagnosis. Take care!
When I look all the way up, if I support the back of my head there is no pain. The pain also go to my left shoulder now too but still mostly on my left neck. Please help and let me know what I can do to get rid of this pain. I can’t really go out for treatment now since the covid 19 thing. Ps. There is no pain if i keep my head straight. Thank you in advance for all your help, I am greatly appreciated.
If it just started today, it could be muscle strain and stiffness due to work. Gently massage your neck. Apply local analgesic gel. Do rotatory neck exercises. Do shoulder and upper back exercises. If these increase the pain, then show this to a doctor. Take care!
The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.
I'm a 22 year old female. I get neck strain very easily and I have constant discomfort in the left side of my neck every day.
If I attempt basic neck stretching exercises, it doesn't feel right and when I stop it feels stiffer and I get a cold sensation that runs from my neck down my arm.
I suspect this same issue is also connected to a muscle in my chest that often gets stuck. When that happens, I feel an immediate moderate pain that makes me unable to take a full breath.
Referred pain from other areas such as the gall bladder, heart, aorta, fallopian tubes, abdominal organs, diaphragm, and lungs should be ruled out. Muscle strain/spasm, tendon and soft tissue issues including the rotator cuff and bursa should also be considered. If pain medication and rest do not help with the symptom, it is best that you have this evaluated by your doctor for proper diagnosis.
The Rhomboid muscle is often under strain from poor neck posture with rounded shoulders. It produces a nagging pain which is difficult to reach, therefore, self massage is usually done with a tennis ball lying on the floor or with products designed specifically for this like the back massager or the neck and back massager to prevent strain. A hot shower is the best form of heat to use.
Yes, my roommate (male, 51) and I both suffer from migraine syndrome and often have neck/shoulder pain that triggers the headache. I have a couple of protruding cervical discs and have suffered two traumatic brain injuries with loss of consciousness. I find that reducing stress - easier said than done - can help, also avoiding straining my neck/shoulders and strengthening the muscles.
Much of neck pain is actually muscle pain. When you moved the neck, you relaxed the muscle some, and so when you repeated the movement it didn't hurt. But neck pain also usually comes with some pressure on the nerves as well as on the muscles and so the pain can move around. When you say overexertion, exactly what did you do? If you strained some muscles, they take as long as they take to heal. Long for some, quick for others. Quick for young people, longer for older folks.
Hi,
The causes of shoulder and arm pain are- frozen shoulder, muscle strain, Parsonage turner syndrome, peripheral neuropathy, shoulder bursitis, nerve compression or shoulder tendonitis. Please go for MRI of spine, and arm and consult a neurologist and orthopedic surgeon for diagnosis and treatment. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
Left arm pain with shortness of breath and left shoulder pain can be due to a wide range of problems. Since you listed "cancer" as one of your current medications, I wonder if you're trying to say that you currently have cancer, or that you're worried that these symptoms could be due to cancer. It's important to ask your doctor about these possibilities: muscle strain, bursitis, rib strain, pleurisy, pneumonia, and less likely but possible: heart problems.
Hi,
According to the National Headache Foundation, neck arthritis and headaches are common health problems. Wear and tear of neck cartilage and joints can press on nerve roots and can cause headaches, especially at the back of the head. Inflammatory diseases like rheumatoid arthritis can also cause spinal disruption which also causes headaches by pinching or pressing on neck and scalp nerves. if his headaches persist, he may need to have this checked before it gets worse.
Six months ago, I strained my muscle between my neck and shoulder, after running. Sometimes, the pain started at the base of the skull and at times my shoulder. I went to the doctor and took a xray that did not show a dislocated or herinated disc. I went on vacation and did not run but swim. I was free of pain. I have started back to running and thepain is back. What could be wrong?

Hi, i am a 24yr old healthy male and i was working out the other week when i injured my neck/shoulder and after a couple of hours i felt as though i had trapped a nerve or something and my shoulder and neck have hurt ever since, but the other day i noticed my right Sternocleidomastoid muscle sticking out of my neck more than usual so i went to the doctors and he checked my chest breathing and checked for enlarged nodes and he said he couldnt hear anything or feel anything and told me not to worr
I also have neck pain, right shoulder pain and numbness in my arms when sleeping, also assuming it was a circulation problem. I also went to a Chiropractor for my neck and shoulder pain, thinking they were all related, and it turns out I have carpal tunnel syndrome. The numbness wasn't related to my shoulder at all. That was a whole separate issue. My neck pain was caused from years of poor posture ( I tend to jut my chin out) and stress. My shoulder was from a work related strain.
