A member asked:
I twist my neck and my chest hurts, is it anything serious?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neck: Turning or twisting the neck can produce chest discomfort by impinging a nerve in the neck causing the Pain to radiate downwards into the rib cage region. Usually a spur in the neck vertebra or a disc between two vertebrae pressing on a nerve root are culprits. Treatment consists of wearing a soft neck collar during the day or at bedtime, nsaids like ibuprofen,if you can take them, warm packs
