Answer 2

Muscles can have knots (trigger points) that make them tight which in turn put pressure on nerves and other things causing pain.
Molasses - a couple of swigs or Bananas 1 or 2 - both contain magnesium and potassium for muscles.
Try working with the principles taught in The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies.
I use a chiropractor and massage therapist with it

Answer 3

C5, C6 vertebrae nerve being touched to some degree. go to neurologist now or get permenant nerve damage with strength loss to arms like I got from ignoring it. Also stop any sports activity as this is the main cause other than whiplash.

Answer 4

As this problem could be either the nerve or your heart you should see your doctor. I would do this fairly soon because if it is a heart problem it could be very serious. Good luck to you.

Answer 5

Apologies to Lawrence T (previous post), but RUN SCREAMING from the office of anyone who tells you that you have carpal tunnel syndrome!

This is likely a neck problem. See your primary care doc. They may send you for some testing, and hopefully for physical therapy.

Answer 6

Definitely a nerve problem, I think. Whatever we all say, you really need some professional attention. Good luck x
