Neck and Shoulders.
by cishanjia @ 2008-03-19 - 19:54:25

Yesterday I saw my consultant again about the frequent, bad head and neck pains I get. These happen because of problems with my neck and shoulder muscles.

He explained yesterday that I have a lot of scar tissue from where the body has tried and failed to repair itself. That's why my neck "crunches" when I move it. The problem is: they've always done that! As long as I can remember, they've done this. Does this mean that I and my GPs (doctors) missed this? He's going to suggest to my GP I try another preventative.

How can a bad problem like this creep up without my noticing it?

I've had bad neck and shoulders like that for many a year too. IF I get too stressed, and work too hard at a computer and do other things to annoy it, it will spread and give me headaches. I also click just like that and I've had faulty shoulders and neck bones since I was 16. The only thing you can do for thigs like this is yoga type excersises that will loosen you up gently over time. I tend to do a few and leave it until it becomes unbarable again. I have noted though that the issue spreads down as well as up completing in finger and arm pain that can lead to pins and needles etc. It all stems from a trapped nerve in my shoulder.

Hi, Jiva! Excusing the pun, it's a real pain. I'm hoping, as another friend suggested, I might get some kind of physiotherapy on the NHS. I can't make ends meet on IB, and so don't want to have to pay out for it. We shall see, or see how much it would cost otherwise.
