A member asked:
I have a pain in my neck at the base where it joins the shoulder and back post lifting very heavy weights especially overhead bench press .?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neck/back pain: Pain in this area may be due to strain/sprain especially if induced after a heavy weight lifting set. Consider heat/ice/massage. If persists consider eval by a physician for possible meds or imaging to fully determine etiology. An osteopathic physician may offer manipulation if appropriate to help in your recovery. Meanwhile, cut back on the weights until improved or cleared by ur doc.
