Common Questions and Answers about Neck pain causes injury
neck
While we were grappling, I rolled the wrong way and ended up twisting my neck really bad. The injury took about 2 weeks to heal, and during the initial stages of the injury I couldn't turn my head at all without feeling acute pain. During that time, I also realised (painless) swelling on the side of my neck that was twisted, and the shoulder on the same side also sagged below the opposite shoulder.
I am 37. I have been having neck pain and other problems for a while with progression. Have 3 thyroid nodules. Just had neck mri that showed 3 bulging discs, also says I have left formainal stenosis at C5 and C6? Encroachment on spinal cord? Also a 1.5cm hemangioma at c2. I just started trigger point injections. It gets harder everyday to turn my neck and cannot sleep. Feel like my neck and shoulders are always "tense". The pain and headaches are horrible.
I would think your neck injury would be the cause of your shoulder pain. I had my gallbladder removed 4 years ago and the pain was under my rib cage and into my back. The pain went away once I had it removed. Do your research and interview a few surgeons before you have the spine surgery. It's a pretty risky procedure and you want somebody to do it right the first time. Good luck. Maybe they can remove the gallbladder and do the neck repair at the same time?
I sustained an injury to my neck 20 years ago. It seems to start in the spine up near the base of my neck. After a few hours i feel my muscles in my back and along my shouldars start to become painful. The pain gets so bad it begins to burn. I now that it is the nerve endings that's causing the pain. I take Curcumin for the pain and use cold on my spine and hot packs on my muscles. I am always in pain and going to three Chiropractors has not fixed the problem.
As Workers Compensation was responsible for compensation, I did not receive any recognition of any injury other than the chronic pain. Of course I have ongoing pain in my neck, back and scapula, headaches, numbess, and eventually ended up with a frozen shoulder which has now been resolved. Sometimes when I put my left arm above my head the scapula seems to "slide" down my back.
Thank you so much for answering my question. I was in a car accident this past august and have undiagnosed neck and shoulder pain since then. A few people have mentioned it could be a brachial plexus injury. I've had 2 shoulder MRIs which were negative except for enlarged axillary lymph nodes which is concerning. They are not at all palpable and my doctors are stumped as to what is going on.
precipitation of head pain by neck movement or awkward neck positions, head pain when external pressure is applied to the neck or occipital region, restricted range of motion of the neck, and neck, shoulder and arm pain.

I had a whiplash injury in June and found a great doctor to help with pain. He is a pain management physician.
He told me at my last visit that my pain is from my accident and that I should get an attorney.
He said his diagnosis is cervical facet arthropathy from trauma.
Today I get his report and it says his assessments are
1. Cervical Spondylosis
2. Cervical facet arthropathy
Now those seem to contradict each other.
Spondylosis seems to mean age related degeneration like arthritis.
You need to recall if you are on any medications that could be causing these potential side effects. Injury at the back, neck, spine, you have severe back pain you said. Twitches are common and can be due to a variety of causes like medications, cold, exercise, fatigue, an overactive thyroid, and spinal cord viral infections.

6 yr old labradoodle, he can't look left, and limps on left front leg. In pain. Medical views?
You need a MRI of the neck because you have numbness in one arm, and neck stiffness and pain. There may be a compression on your spinal nerves due to spinal injury. The arm numbness can also be due to muscle injury or due to a nerve injury. Also though it may just be a bruise and contusion, your forehead injury needs to be evaluated further. Take care!

Occipital neuralgia is caused by irritation or injury to two nerves that run from the upper neck to the back of the head.
I am a competitive tennis player. I have had issues with shooting pain (like a shock of pain) that radiates from the back of my neck to my head. I can only describe it as "little explosions" of pain. Sometimes, this pain causes me to go to the ground (almost like I have lost function for a split second). Also, I always feel confused afterwards and my head and neck tingles. It takes me a while to get my focus back and continue to play tennis.
Occipital neuralgia may be a cause to explore. If you have had any neck injury, the occipital nerves may get stretched and you may get the headaches at the occipital region.
Migraine headaches can present at any region. The headaches usually last for a couple of days, and are associated with redness of eyes, visual blurring, aura, etc. This also does not seem to be the case.
Do you recall having had any neck stretching injury?
Hi Sue: I'm so sorry you're having this pain. I get neck injections as well. Mine usually last a few months. Have you asked your doctor these questions?
Hopefully someone who knows more will answer you.
