I have enormous pain in my neck, and it gets super stiff and feels like it's just fusing to the base of my skull as if it were a part of a stone sculpture. I'm constantly having to bend my neck back to crack it because I feel this buildup of pressure that causes so much pain that I can't think of anything else. Does anyone else experience anything similar? Any sort of neck pain or even upper back pain?
This morning as a matter of fact. Have you had any x-rays of your neck for possible other causes as well? I have considerable problems with my spine with my neck being about the worst of it. I get injections in three areas of my spine. In between I use Australian Dream which you can find at Wal-Mart and most drug stores or I use Real Time Pain Relief sold online. They are both expensive but you use such a small amount that it really evens out cost wise. I use them for headaches and all things fibro.
Yes! Every day all day!! Currently doing.breathing exercises, stretching and heat on neck every morning.
Yes, mine also feels like its fusing with my shoulder. It triggers migraines. I try to use a massaging Heating pad or ice.
I have had x-rays of my spine and neck just from a general chiropractor, and he said that my neck is straight like a board instead of curving naturally like it's supposed to, which puts extra stress on my back and spine. I have been to three chiropractors though for full periods of treatment and none have made an ounce of a difference. Now I'm trying physical therapy. What kind of injections do you get? And how effective are those creams?
Yes I sometimes get that fused feeling but it includes my shoulders too so to look right or left I have to turn at the waist. There are times as well when I feel a physical stoppage of head move ment like the vertebrae are out of alignment. Usually a loud crack gives me some movement back.
I know of a few others on here who get tremendous headaches from pressure in their necks
