I have had a neck problem for three weeks now . It hurts and aches at back of neck but at the front it feels weird . It feels tight across the middle of neck like a band round it and if I wear clothing that's a tight fit it feels stranguling . It hurts my neck if I nod up and down and seems to make me feel I can't swallow properly at times like something stuck in throat . My collar bones can really hurt too right up to Base of neck . Not sure if it's to do with my spine or anxiety as my stress and anxiety has been terrible past three months . Lost appetite and lost weight . Have not slept properly . Even took diazapram to try to help . The more this goes on the more I worry

Hi Edwina . Thank you for your reply , it's nice to know it's not just me . It's terrible what anxiety can cause . I wish I could learn how to control it more . If you need to talk then I'm here . Thank you x
Sounds like anxiety.You hold most of the tension in your shoulders and neck.It is horrible but try not to focus on it as much.Sadly it is easier said than done.Try to find things to distract your mind.Listen to relaxation recordings on YouTube,use ice packs or heat pads on your neck and Google neck exercises to help muscle tension.
Thank you marleen. I will certainly give that a try as my anxiety levels totally suck. Hope your OK hun .
