Pain in neck just above collar bone?

At worst its a pinched nerve, but I'm pretty sure its a sore muscle.   I've had those feelings pleny of times because I slept wrong.   It may not feel like it, but its ended up that way many times for me. Take some motrin or tyenol and make sure not to strain that muscle any more and it should go away (in a couple days).  If it doesn't you should see a doctor.

yes all the time!  I believe this would be caused by bad posture.  it tugs on your neck and shoulder muscles.  sit up straigt and take some breaks in between, get up walk around do some stretches, it should alleviate some pressure.

What you are indicating is a highly inflamed area located basically at the base of the skull.. this will involve the cranial nerves. You have described some of the symptoms which are stimulated by those nerves. Also, when you have a repression of the sympathetic nervous system, you will have the over-all symptoms you have described.\n\nI am sure your doctor of Chiropractic will not touch you until he/she sees an x-ray of the area.. Inasmuch as you have been under care there before, it does indicate you have a chronic problem with your posture and your spine. It has actually been a chronic sub-acute condition which was brought to the acute state by your injury. When you tried to relieve the pressure of the upper neck, you encountered that highly inflamed area and set of the chain reaction you experienced; You now are experiencing an imbalance of the autonomic nervous system which can have a drastic effect on all the functions supplied by those 12 cranial nerves. The parasympathetic system has over-ridden the sympathetic (are supposed to balance each other) and this will create other symptoms which you have expressed..Even have become highly sensitive to lights. and perhaps your blood pressure has fallen a bit. The ramifications of the autonomic nervous system are quite diverse. All the vessels and other features controlled by dilation are now enacted..without anything to  balance them, to maintain a normal state.\n\nWould be very important to get your DC's opinion on your condition.

You didn't mention anything about a bruise and swelling on the neck and chest sounds pretty hard to injure without having other parts of your body involved.  It's also been a day.  I'd go to the doctor's.  Good luck.

If it's a sharp pain, it might be a dislocated rib.  I just had one of those a few months ago and they hurt like hell!  I went to the chiropractor and he popped in back in (he said it would hurt a little-he lied!), and I felt 100% better immediately.  BTW, I fell and dislocated it, but apparently you can do that from turning wrong or any number of things.

Occipital Neuritis\n\nAlthough the nuccal region is innervated\nby the occipital nerve, one should also carefully evaluated the possibility\nof a more proximal nerve injury, namely nerve roots in the high cervical\nsegments. You did not describe any neck instability or neck weakness, so\nit is less likely that a severe compression of the cervical segment nerve \nroots is occurring. Given the persistence of your pain symptoms, you should\nbe evaluate by a neurologist, preferably one specialized in the peripheral\nnervous system. Other options are neuro-surgeons or orthopedic surgeons\nspecialized in spine.\n\nI hope this information is helpful. Best of luck.

Just like charbar I have that pain in my feet when I get up.You might want to see a chiropractor for a check up.It could be poor circulation of blood, or possibly pressure on some nerves in your back.I have some back problems myself.

There are several things that could be going on. \nTendinitis or your bursae sac could be torn which causes bursitis. Pluerisy could be a problem. Bursitis & pluerisy both hurt so bad that you think you are having a heart attack. And last but not least, you could have a broken collar bone. My niece broke hers and didn't even know it. She had no visible signs for a few days and then it hit. So be careful. I would go to a doctor.

Please check with your doctor. I could be an impingement (where an inflamed nerve is getting caught) and it can actually be from problem in your neck. Please don't disregard it, its something a doctor will need to do x-rays for. Good luck.

Between your bones is sinovial fluid. Sometimes gas builds up in this fluid. Abrupt movements pop the gas bubbles and that is what you are hearing. It can be caused by arthritis or previous trauma to that area. By swinging your neck quickly you can pinch a nerve, that can lead to some serious problems. stretch in the morning and during the afternoon so that the tightness you might feel goes away

Hi Stephen.  I am sorry to hear about your suffering.  I have a couple of thoughts/suggestions.  \n\nFirst, have your been properly tested for vitamin B12 deficiency?  This is a common cause of peripheral neuropathy and most doctors do not know how to properly test for deficiency.  Usually doctors order a serum B12 test, however this can be normal even with deficiency.  The best laboratory tests for B12 status are serum Homocysteine and urinary Methylmalonic acid.  So, be sure this is not an issue.\n\nSecond, I would like to suggest a powerful book by Sherry Rogers, M.D.  It is called: "Pain-free in 6 Weeks".  She is an expert in environmental medicine.  In the book Dr. Rogers explains many, many causes of chronic pain that are not well understood (or even known) by most doctors.  The book is available at Amazon.com.  I highly recommend it.\n\nLast thought, how many Chiropractic evaluations have you had?  Have you ever had a neck injury (e.g. whiplash, sports injury, fall, etc.)?  It is not common, but an upper cervical subluxation could cause your symptoms.\n\nI hope this has been helpful for you.  Best wishes and good luck.

No, it's too early. See a doctor about checking your spinal column for abnormal wear and any other posible causes.

Yes, see a doctor or a chiropractor.  Numbness is often a sign of nerve problems, and problems with your neck can bother the nerves.

I have tingling in my hands and arms and sometimes it hurts really bad, been doing it for several months. I went to the doctor and he took x-rays. It is a problem with my neck. Have they taken any x-rays? Maybe the next step would be to have some or maybe go see a chiropractor, they are miracle workers if you get a good one.

I wouldn't say that, but it could me something else, like a simple throat infection or Hodgkins disease which a classic sympton is a painless swollen lymph node on one side of the neck.

It could VERY WELL be that you are not drinking enough fluids ( especially water ).  This is ONLY taking into account that you are not exerting yourself too much ( working out, sitting or sleeping in a weird position, etc ... ).  Your muscles and joints need proper lubrication and water is the best solution.  Check out a book called something like, Your Body's Many Cries for Water. Good Luck, I know the feeling of neck and shoulder pain.  Always check with your HealthCare Practitioner before starting any kind of regimen.
