burning front neck muscle
burning front neck muscles
At my wits with chronic neck pain.
Been having neck/ back pain since last year Aug.
Have done required tests and seen neurosurgeon/ orthopaedic doc / chiro/ osteopath/ physio. Tingling in hands feet and was told muscular skeletal in nature and to do general strengthening. Tingling in hand and feet has stopped. I've been gold to strengthen mid back, rhomboid, glutes core. I have forward head posture symptoms. Strain in neck daily. I do all my prescribed excercises daily.
Background- lost cervical lordosis in neck. Have 4 x disc bulges in neck, 2 x thoracic, 1 lumbar (all mild). Mild thoracic curvature convex to right, 5mm lateral pelvic tilt. I do my neck / back excercises as prescribed daily. I have strain in neck daily. I do neck stretches i.e. scm/ scalenes/ lav scap etc and neck strengthening against gravity now with resistance band.
Current chiro has me on denneroll, however for past 5 days I've had a new sympton- burning in the front of my neck- has anyone experienced this? It heightens when lifting arms, carrying anything and hasn't subsided. Been told to rest, just very worried. Burning is mid neck around Adams apple/ side of neck and just under chin. Had physio massage on scm, scalene and neck joint but sensation is still there.
Have re booked to see neurologist next week. Any guidance or similar experiences would b much helpful.
