How often do you exercise? Do you have a
desk job?

The reason I ask is because most people,
from doctors to home makers, spend a great
portion of the day with their heads bent
forward. Generally they don't look left
or right or look up. If you have shoulder
pain with the neck pain, it's because your
head is 10 pounds at least, bent forward
most of the day, adds up to too much work
for the smallest part of your spine to do,
so the muscles take over. Kind of like
the typing position you take at your pc.
Sit that way long enough and it starts to
hurt. My advice is to get up, walk
around, hang your head to the chest and
relax the shoulders. This stretches the
muscles in that area. It works for me and
I drive tractor trailers.

Along With Chest Pain? Posted: 11-20-05 03:54am
I am having neck/shoulder/back pain for
the 1st time really badly tonight...Do you
ever have it along with chest pains? Both
of my shoulders hurt, more so on the right
side tonight along with a stabbing pain in
my chest, plus my shoulderblade and back
too. Yesterday it was the opposite side
along with arm and chest pain and a hard
time breathing and I thought I was having
a heart attack, tonight it hurts even more
though so i'm freaking out again.

Coping With Back And Neck Pain Posted: 07-26-07 09:06am
Dianad you definitely have a point there.
I have suffered from back and neck ache
all of my life due to a slight scoliosis
of the spine and it is made much much
worse when i spend a long time at my
computer or sitting still. I’ve had
physiotherapy, osteopathy and chiropractic
treatment and although they lessened the
pain, it always came back after a few
days.
In October I had a breast reduction and
went from a G-cup, to a C-cup. This has
helped enormously. With my new, more
streamlined breasts I can now do Yoga and
have been practicing at a class once a
week since February. The result is
incredible.
Recently I’ve started doing some work
for a spa in leeds called Waterfall Spa.
They sent me on a sampler day and one of
the treatments I had was their ‘tension
busting massage’. It uses deep tissue
massage to really work out the knots in
your back and neck caused by tension and
stress, and aromatherapy oils, which help
to relax your body and mind in general.
I have to say I am definitely going to be
back for more!
From my yoga I have learnt that pain
relief has a lot to do with breathing and
relaxing your muscles. However other than
my one hour of yoga a week, realistically
there aren’t many times in my hectic
schedule for breathing techniques! I found
that being in the spa itself (in the
aromatherapy room and the hydrotherapy
pool) gave me the time to do my deep
breathing and just relax fully for a whole
day- I felt wonderful!

I agree on the massage - it can do wonders
as well as exercise and stretching - just
being tense at my job can cause a downward
spiral of neck and back pain for weeks for
me so I have to concentrate on sitting
relaxed but yet very supported (shoulders
back, good chair etc).

Alice I agree with you and Shannon, the
masage is fantastic, except my massage
therapist calls it Trigger Point massage.
It works knots out of the muscles, which
pretty much cause all of our pains. Take
me with to the Spa next time, okay?
