Cervical myelopathy : Depends on age. May be you have degenerative arthritis of the neck spine.This leads to bone spurs which can compress the spinal cord and cause such symptoms as described

Question 3

tight  muscles on right side of neck that cause sensations down rt arm and a little down left leg. doesn't hurt. normal? massage therapy's helping .

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: Symptoms of neck pain  with a "shooting" characteristic can be related to anything from a pulled muscle of the neck to a pinched nerve.  It may be useful to follow up with your doctor if symptoms do not seem to be improving in a few days or if they worsen in severity.  Over the counter pain relievers, heat/cold therapy, and gentle stretching may help relieve the pain prior to a visit.

Question 4

dislocated my right shoulder in january of 2013, reduced, slung it with pt. my right collarbone looks different & right side of neck feels tense. why?

Accepted Answer

Dislocation ?: After a shoulder dislocation and sling immobilization disuse atrophy of the shoulder muscles can occur and cause the clavicle to appear more prominent. Also, with more scapular than glenohumeral( sh. Jt.) relative motion occurring your trapezius may be seeing more motion and " tenser"... Of course, an acromioclavicular "separation" of the shoulder can cause these 'changes' more quickly...

Question 5

muscle twitching on right side of neck where it meets shoulder, no pain. the only thing i did the day before was clean. nothing different. i can feel it almost fluttering. when i put my hand on it i can feel the twitches against my hand. worrisome?

Accepted Answer

: Localized muscle twitching can be caused by overuse of a muscle group especially if the activity was out of the ordinary. I think this is a benign situation that will resolve.on its own. Abstain from caffeine in the meantime. See your physician or a neurologist as needed.

Question 6

dull, burning, tingling pain on top of n around right clavicle plus down right side of neck going towards shoulder. what is causing this?

Accepted Answer

Many things: Your complaints could come from many possibile sources. You should see your primary doctor or perhaps a specialist for a thorough history (your story with many details) and examination. These may prompt further testing and should guide the treatment. Unless it is getting better on its own, see someone.

Question 7

shocking pain on bottom right side of neck that shoots down to my chest and up right behind my ear and it burns and my right shoulder goes numb and my arm hearts what could it be?

Accepted Answer

Nerve root injury : Your description is suggestive of someone that is suffering from cervical radiculitis.  Injury to the nerve root as it exits the foramen can lead to pain, pins and needles (paresthesias), numbness, and/or weakness.  In someone of your age group the most likely cause is a disc herniation.

I would suggest that you meet with your doctor to discuss further treatment.

Question 8

iv burst the bursa sac in my shoulder, why is the pain so severe my left hand side of neck, back and arm are continuously achy.  how long for recovery?

Accepted Answer

Be rechecked: If you are experiencing severe pain on the left side of your neck down into your arm, it is probably more than a simple injury to your "bursa". Among possible causes which could be checked for would typically be a pinched nerve in the neck, a torn rotator cuff, or signs of cardiac ischemia.  A detailed history, exam, and appropriate studies would likely result in an accurate diagnosis.
