Shoulder muscle pain goes up into neck help tried everything?
The muscle that connects to the back of your shoulder joint, goes across your shoulder & up into the neck is always sore & swollen. Causes stiff neck and for my neck to crack, it is very painful & visibly swollen. I have tried the regular dr, chiropractic, accupuncture, accupressure, cranial sacral therapy, massage, structural integration & nothing is helping. With each treatment it felt better for a week or two so I would start to have hopes that it was working, then it would just go back to being painful. Anyone have ANY ideas??
MRI could be helpful in ruling in/out disc lesion. search for “cervical herniated disc” and see if your symptoms mirror the major symptoms listed. One other thing is to note your posture throughout the day. Do you often sit for long periods of time (example: student at desk or worker at computer)? It could also be a weakness of extensor muscles supporting your upper neck, back, and shoulders. If they are not functioning properly, that will put stress on the joints in the body. You could also try chiropractic again but try an AK (applied kinesiology) doctor (www.icakusa.com). And don’t forget, if the symptoms get change or get worse consult your primary care provider.
