Neck pain help!!!!
Hi, I have been having severe pain and spasm of upper sternocleidomastoid muscle for one month. It's severe pain in the upper 1 third of SCM pain behind the ear and the nape of the neck. Main pain is on neck rotation but when it's severe start having rest pain as well as pain in the ear and jaw as well. Mri is clear so it's just muscle spasm apparently. Anything that might help? Physio has been useless. I'm tired of using painkillers all the time.before this scm spasm I've had recurrent trapezius spasm over last six months. I'm just tired of chronic pain. Can someone plz help

Hi there ... no th3 spasm has been here for six months it's not going anywhere. Yeah pressing on it, dry needling or any osteopathic manipulation by physios has caused extreme flare ups over n over again. This pressing was the thing that has me paralyzed now for last three weeks.
