Once I had a car accident from when my problem of severe neck and upper back pain started. Due to acute pain I started altering my sitting position from upright to a sort of curved stance. This kind of sudden accidents can change anyone's life as this pain seems to be incurable at times.
I have so many friends and clients who suffer from neck pain but their symptoms and the amount of pain they experience are extremely different.
Injury or trauma to the neck disc or nerve problems helps in the development of this kind of pain within the neck. Arthritis is also sometime responsible. Sometimes stress, sleeping in an odd positions and long strain to the neck can develop this pain.
Generally neck pains are acute and develop as sudden or chronic problems. It can last more then three months depending on the cause and Fibromyalgia is one of such common cause. Definitive diagnosis cannot be done always.
Sufferers experience pains like muscle stiffness, soreness, stiff to the touch, acute pain strong enough to force the neck to turn to one side, pain radiating down the back and/or arms, one or both-sided headaches, pain in the base of the skull, tingling arms and/or fingers and general weakness in the neck and/or arms.
It is a proven fact that women experience more neck pain compared to men.
Mostly neck pains are very discomforting and disappears within a day or two but sometimes these pains signal that something really serious has happened to your body.
One of such causes is Meningitis. This is an inflammation of the brain and spinal cord which can be both viral and bacterial. Viral disease is the common one and not that devastating but bacterial one, is a extremely life-threatening disease.
Along with severe neck pain and stiffness one should be cautious of symptoms like sudden rash, fever, nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light and severe back pain. These are the signals for this disease.
Neck pain also indicates serious medical conditions arising from head trauma. If your neck pain is accompanies with the other symptoms like headache, nausea, hearing or balance, vomiting, pain localized behind one eye, loss or complications in vision and weakness in arm and/or leg muscles; you better rush to the doctor immediately.
How can one avoid this neck pain? One experiencing a pain that is not caused from any injury can follow his/her daily routine unless that pain is not caused due to that regular routine. Time is the best solution for this kind of pain.
If at all a neck collar is been prescribed to you, try not to use it very often as this gradually weaken the neck muscles. Doing exercise is a good option as this improves fitness and also neck muscles.
One fact that you have to understand is that in such pains, all the muscles around your neck, back and head are connected together. So one cannot ignore these muscles as well. My Neck Pain Relief program heals this kind of pain in a very natural way. Since it's on the way, I hope you will give a look in this programme as I did and I am hopeful that these pains will go away as they did in my case.
