Q: Neck sore?
I had a cold about 2 weeks ago and I still have the congested cough. Yesterday,I woke up with my neck sore under my left ear down my neck. I woke up this morning and it is more sore. It is starting to hurt now under my right ear. I don’t have a fever or sore throat. I looked in my throat and I have this white-yellowish patch and it is has red lines but does not hurt. Can you have strep throat without a sore throat? Has this happened to anyone else?
A: Look, if there is anything wrong with your body and you don’t know what it is, I suggest one of these two options for anytime this happens:
1. Go to http://www.webmd.com. They can help you identify what is happening to you whatever the problem is. They’ll give you more detailed answers than what you’d normally see here.
2. Go to a doctor if you can’t find what you’re looking for on WebMD or if you know whatever is happening to you is serious. This is the best option because they’ll give you a full diagnosis and they can give you a prescription for the drugs you need.
Q: Why are my shoulders & neck sore the morning after i drink?
It seems like everytime i drink a lot of alcohol, my neck & shoulders are really sore the morning after. Does this happen to anyone else & does anyone know why it happens?
A: Likely it is just dehydration, also a main cause of a hangover. Drink water every other drink and you shouldn’t have that problem.
Q: Sore gums on upper back left side of mouth and left side of neck sore too?
My gums near the left side of my upper wisdom tooth feel swollen and sore for the past two days and just today i noticed pain when pressing below my left jaw on my neck.
Ca this be anything serious?
A: It’s probably not serious, but requires some action. It sounds like you have a minor gum infection that is affecting the lymph nodes on the same side. The home remedy is to rinse with warm salt water several times a day and to take advil as needed. If it hasn’t markedly improve in 7 days, then go in to see the dentist
Q: Why do I get a sore neck when I sit or lie in a draught?
I have been sleeping near an open window and I wake up with a stiff and sore neck. Can anyone explain the science – please.
A: I don’t think there is an association with the wind flow or temperature or anythin like that. You do want to ensure that you have the same body and neck position out in the other room as you do in your bed (where you do not wake up with a neck ache), the pillow is the same etc, good luck
Q: What is the fastest way to get rid of a sore neck?
I woke up this morning and i had a terrible pain in my neck and i knew it was from sleeping on it wrong. I would really like to know what the fastest and best way is to get rid of a sore neck is. I have a soccer game tomorrow and would like to know as soon as possible. Thank You
A: I would take some Ibuprofen or Naproxen for the pain.
You need to stretch your shoulder and neck. Try rotating your shoulders backward and forward a few times. Also, tilt your head from shoulder to shoulder and forward to your chest and back a few times, do all these slowly.
Applying moist heat will help a lot, too.
Good luck!
Q: What is the best pillow type to support neck and to stop me getting a sore neck?
Im sick of getting a sore neck coz they are too soft and dont support my neck, they are filled with polyester fibre, any suggestions as to which pillows are best to support neck and are comfortable?
A: Use what is called butterfly type pillow which has good support for the neck. Or put a small wooden plank under the normal pillow to provide a firm support.
Q: What helps a sore neck and shoulders while sitting at a desk & when lying in bed?
I have had probs with my back & Neck for years, i’ve seen a pysiotherapist comes right for a while then goes back to being sore.
What can i do when it’s sore while sitting at my desk @ work
and when i’m lying in bed
I have been to a chiropractor, she made it worse so did the physio, i have been using herbal anti-flamme to help but i can’t keep on using all day
A: The problem with Physios, osteos, chrios etc is they don’t empower self healing and maintainence, they don’t tend to look to indepthly at common movement/activity patterns
To be Continued.
++++++++++++++++++++
People Usually pay me for this but hey
Lie on a firm surface. with your knees bent and feet flat.
Raise your arms above your head and stretch to the roof.
Do little circles in each direction.
Now take your arms through full Circumductions. (big circels with your wrist just a centremetre from the floor
Then put your elbows out to the sides and let your hands ballance above them with your elbow bent at 90 degrees.
Try to find the balance point where you no longer have to hold them up, and breath deep breaths holding your lungs open.
You’ll feel all sorts of little spasm or adjustive movements in your shoulder blades, persist at this.
You can then also try lacing your fingers behind your neck and make flapping motions whilst both pushing your fingers together and your elbows out to the side.
Also knee pushups or place your arms on doorway lean forward with arms bent and push a little loading your pectorals triceps, anterior deltoids, and abdominals. This is good.
You can also do the revers but this action is easier using either end of a rope hung over a tree branch or ceiling beam.
Good luck
Repeat, letme know how it goes.
Q: What’s he best way to treat stress-induced sore neck and shoulders?
I had very sore shoulders (below the shoulder blade) today. Had a massage and now my neck and my shoulders hurt a lot when I turn my head or put it forward to stand up. I’m using a heating pad now, but I wonder what other options there might be.
A: I had issues with pain after I had a massage the very first time and later discovered that part of that pain was because my body wasn’t used to the massages yet. I also learned that it’s important to drink a lot of water afterward to help rid the body of the toxins that just got built up during the massage. With my first massage I didn’t drink a lot of water afterward and that added to my pain as well as caused a urine test at one of my other doctors to show albumin (a chemical that relates to our liver) in the sample.
Something else I did for the neck and shoulder area (still do because of my fibro at times) is apply hot water to the area thru the shower.
I would also recommend getting in touch with the massage therapist to see what other suggestions they might have to help ease this pain.
Q: Is it normal to have a sore neck when you have a cold?
If so, how long is it before the sore neck goes away?
A: It can happen – I don’t know why but it’s happened to me a couple of comes (when recovering from a cold). My doc gave me a sheet of neck exercises to do – several times a day. It took about 5 – 6 days to fully recover. The exercises instantly provided some relief though.
Apparently it’s the combination of a cold & some sort of physical exercise, or strain that does it (in my case lifting weights – but it doesn’t have to be that strenuous to set it off). Happens to a few people.
Q: Can pregnancy cause me to have a sore neck?
No matter how i lay, my neck and the back of my head are always sore the next day. I am only 13 weeks along, so I wouldn’t think that my spine would be causing things to be out of whack, but I don’t know what else it could be.
A: if can definitley cause you to have a sore neck and back of the head. I was about that far along when I started having pain…I called my doctor and got a Physical Therapy referral….you would not believe the difference!! even though you may not feel it, your body is getting ready for the baby and pulling on your spine…it tightens EVERYTHING up….all the way up to your neck….I got massages in PT and she loosened up all my vertebrae and then up my neck and it worked WONDERS!!! I’d talk to your doc…some PT could help for sure….haha i know it sounds funny…but I think im my PT’s biggest fan..shes helped so much! Just be careful who you go to though, make sure you go to one who specializes in pregnancy.
Q: My neck and back are sore to the touch after steroid treatment for bronchitis. What could this be?
I got bronchitis and was given methylprednisolone and now my upper back and neck are sore to the touch. Can anyone help?
A: I really think you need to call your doc’s office and ask the nurse. You could also call the pharmacy and ask a pharmacist. The reason I tell you this is b/c muscle pain & weakness and tendon & bone pain are both signs of severe side effects of medicinal steroids. Just thought you needed to know that b/c it could be something that needs medical attention. Also, you could be sore from coughing. If you coughed a lot during your stint w/ bronchitas, you will be extremely sore and uncomfortable in many areas, such as, chest, neck, throat, upper back, neck, etc. My guess is that is probably the case, but you need to run it by a nurse/pharmacist. Hope this helps, and I hope you are well soon!
Q: What’s the best way to help a terribly sore neck?
My neck has been sore for days now, and I don’t know what to do about it. I’ve had heat on it, until tonight when my pilates instructor said to not use heat and ice it instead. The ice feels good, but it still hurts like hell. What can I do to help it?
Thanks.
I think a lot of the soreness has to do with stress and putting strain on it during working out, which I’m trying to work on.
A: stay with the heat
i have just recovered from the chiro from hell a few mths ago
ice is only used for swelling, keep the heat on it , take pain relief tablets and let it rest
Q: What’s causing my headaches & sore neck after running?
I just started a running program in an effort to lose weight and be healthy. I started running outside and I have found that those days, I get a bad headache and sore neck after running. It stays with me all day until I go to sleep. Any advice or suggestions on what causes it or how to get rid of it?
A: I’ve heard that a Budd Chiari malformation type 1 can cause this. Ask your doctor about it.
Q: During my ab workout i have a sore neck?
I always put tension in my neck during my ab workout and it gets really sore. Anyone got tips on how to stop the tension?
A: Use only your abs. You are probably doing it wrong.
Q: Can roller skating cause a sore neck?
I went roller skating and now I have a sore neck. My sister does not believe that roller skating caused my sore neck. I tend to disagree with her because that is the only thing that I did differently in my normal routine. What say ye?
Yes, I did fall once on my behind. I also skated for about 2 hours. I have not skated in years.
A: sure…if you were tensing up the muscles in your neck/shoulders…maybe in an attempt to concentrate/keep your balance.
