Does Anyone Else Have An Issue Where They Feel Like Their Neck Is Fusing To The Base Of Their Skull?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

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, 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
