Question 1

i am getting bad neck pain on the back right side and down through the front into my collarbone area the day after drinking, what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Below: This is probably due to the position you slept in and should disappear within a few days.  If it does not or if new symptoms appear suggest doctor visit.

Question 2

i am having dull collarbone pain, shoulder pain, and neck pain on the right side. hurts to cough as well.

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: For this type of complaint a face to face exam and history is required. Did you get into an injury? Are you having a respiratory infection? Is there chest pain? You'll get more answers with an exam by a doctor. I would see one at an urgent care as soon as you can.

Question 3

have lg lump thats squishy in triangle area above collarbone on each side at base of neck & pain/swelling going up sides of face w/ numbness. plz help?

Accepted Answer

GET AN EXAM: Your symptoms described above are concerning
You need to see your DR for an exam.

There are many possibilities as to the cause of this, and only with exam will one be able to give you a correct DX

Question 4

i had a collarbone injury a few years ago, but the injury was not treated correctly at the time. now i experience numbness and tingling in my arm. i also get neck pain and headaches on a daily basis.

Accepted Answer

Arm symptoms: I would be suspicious of a nerve root impingement caused by a bulging intervertebral disc in your neck. An MRI of your neck would be most helpful in ruling this in or out. I don't think that the collarbone injury is related. A neurologist or neurosurgeon could evaluate and advise you and order the MRI if deemed advisable.

Question 5

i have a knot between my breast that is painful when touched.  i have also been experiencing a sharp pain in my neck right at the collarbone area. could these be connected. i had 2 disk replaced in my neck in 2009 so i am not sure if the neck pain is comi

Accepted Answer

Sounds more like a : Costochondritis or inflammation of the cartilage in that area rather than a neck problem.  It usually is self limiting and is typically see. After a cold or flu illness.  Otc medication can help.  If it persists, see your doctor.

Question 6

upper back and collarbone/neck pain - pull a muscle working out/doing yoga? pain from slumping over desk? got a flu shot last week - pain from that?

Accepted Answer

Transient joint pain: A flu shot can provoke transient arthralgia (joint pain) and muscle achiness, especially when combined with working out. Any additive symptoms from the flu shot should subside uneventfully in several days.

Question 7

severe chest and neck pain. is this related to giving up smoking?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: I hope not because we wouldn't want to discourage anyone from smoking cessation ;-)
unless you just quit smoking and are coughing a lot, which does happen at first, then these symptoms are not likely to be related to your giving up smoking. If no better after self care for a couple weeks time then see your doctor. If you are coughing a lot then it could be due to that.

Question 8

what causes the severe neck pain and stiffness while smoking meth? i know i should stop, so please just give an non judgemental answer.  :-)

Accepted Answer

The destructive drug: You don't want any judgmental answer; but as a physician, i don't judge. But i can't comment without telling you that there are grave medical dangers to your meth use. It adversely affects the brain --exposes you to significant emotional+cognitive problems. Arrhythmias, increased blood pressure, carotid artery dissections, leading to neck pain and severe stroke. Tremors can also lead to neck pain.

Question 9

i get severe neck pain after chain smoking, it feels the same as  aseptic meningitis but it's not. why the pain and should i be conserned? i have uctd

Accepted Answer

Pain: May be a reaction to the nicotine or your head position, implying its from muscular spasm. Perhaps its your body telling you that you need to stop.

Question 10

could my neck pain and speech difficulty be due to a stroke, nerve damage,  brain damage, crystal meth smoking withdrawals, or medication?

Accepted Answer

Neck pain &amp; speech: Please see a doctor ASAP if you have not seen one.  Any of the causes you mention are possibilities and if something is brewing, e.g., a stroke, you need medical attention at once.  Please get support for the drug use you are freeing yourself from, your doctor and a 12 step group.  Peace and good health.
