Question
HI
I recently tried to do 20 pushups back in Jan for this physical I had to do and seems, maybe wrong ...that I have been having trouble with my shoulder and neck area. I am tender and sensitive to the touch on my collar bone and shoulder, am very stiff at night. The pain sometimes runs to the back of right side of my head and pain in my right ear sometimes. Its uncomfortable to raise my arm upwards, heat seems to help as does alieve. What do you think this is, massage and heat seems to help loosen me up. Thanks, terri

Answer
Hi Terri and thanks for writing,

It sounds to me like you have a muscle spasm, of course you need to be assessed to be sure. I would recommend you find a good Sports Medicine doctor or Chiropractor to help you resolve your pain; they can help you to strengthen the area and prevent further problems.

All the best,
