Hi,
Hope all is well. I’ve been doing some research myself. For the past 2 years from what I can remember, I’ve been having neck pain, shoulder pain, near the arm pit but on front chest and then radiates to front chest.. I get it daily which is crazy, I feel like a day doesn’t go by if I haven’t got the pain so I sort of got use to it. It becomes really annoying because it throws me off if something can seriously be wrong. I am not sure if it is Acid Reflux, but I am all over the place.
I little about me! I’m 30, mostly in a computer chair at work, 5’6, about 240 lbs (Yes over weight) and slim to none exercise. I decided earlier this week, I will change my life and lose weight a long with getting active! I am on the start of that.
So, obviously when losing weight and changing my diet comes the headaches and feeling off, so yes I am getting that now too, but this pain is so… unique.
I just feel so tight like my muscles are tight or spasm. I sometimes notice my hand go numb here and there. I sometimes can wake up with my hand numb in sleep, as if I slept on it but didn’t? Weird!
About a year ago or better, I did an MRI, I was told I had 2 herniated disc. They wanted me to go to do physical therapy. I haven’t had the chance to start yet, but plan to do that as well. They wanted me to start on Advil like 4 times a day for 3 weeks, but I can’t due to my stomach. They also prescribed for the pain these 2: Methocarbamo 750MG OR CYCLOBENZAPRINE 5MG which I haven’t tried yet. They are relaxers. Do they work?
Back to the pain, I can feel off like when walking just not as I am going to trip or fall, just off balanced a bit. As I told this to you, I am sitting in my chair not straight up back pushed back a little, when I go to raise my back up and sit straight and push my chest forward to stretch, this is where I feel the pain in the shoulders/upper back/neck area. From there, my head feels a bit off, again not dizzy as the room is spinning, just ‘dazed.’ I’m not sure if this an anxiety symptom playing a game on me? But the pain is real.
The shoulders or muscles seem to pull and create this chest pressure that has my head flying and thinking it is a heart related. My GP thinks it is all muscles.
Your thoughts would be great, hope I am not alone out here. Stay warm!
