Question: The area between my neck and bra strap!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!?
HURTS! There is a muscle (s) that bunch up and cause me pain when I look down at work to complete my paperwork etc!.!.!.!.hurts harder when I get stressed!. I put muscle rub on it, this has been working up to this point for several years now!. I can only imagine how it will be a few years from now!. I do see a chiropractor and he adjust but then usually is back to paining me either that eve or the next am!. I just wish I could get someone to just dig into the musle with their fingers for a long time while I screamed bloody crazy to push the lactic acid out!. I slab on high strength muscle rub several times a day as well, I also utilize neck pillows that you microwave and this also applies weight to the area which is actually relaxing!.

OK first and foremost, please please stop getting your neck adjusted by a chiropractor, this can be really dangerous and can even lead to stroke and death!.

you really need to go and see a proper doctor as you may need referral to a orthopaedic doctor or a physiotherapy referral!.
if the area is inflamed you need to put ice or something very cold on it, not hot which could be making it worse!. try taking paracetamol occasionally when it gets really bad but dont rely on painkillers!.
it may be that the chair you do your work on is not right ofr you!. look online for a guide to how to set your chair properly!. but so you know your lower back should be supported, your forearms should just rest on your desk and your knees should be slightly lower than your thighs!. a proper chair could amke all the difference!.
you could try going for a sports massage to see if you can work the muscle out!.
a good stretch you can try is this:
sit straight with your feet flat on the floor with your arms straight down by yourside and relaxed!. now slowly place your chin on your chest and hold for 5 seconds!. now slowly return to normal!. then slowly lean your head straight back and hold for 5 seconds, and back again!. then, keeping your shoulders still turn your head to the left, hold 5, back to centre!. the same to the right!. next tilt you ear to your shoulder, hold for 5, back to centre, same other side!. do this at least 3 times a day!. take a 10 minutebreak from your work every hour and stretch, walk around etc!.
this shoul all help!. but please stop with the chiropractor and see your doctorWww@Answer-Health@Com

Happens to me, too, and it's definitely a 2 part problem!.
First, you probably have a tear or other injury going on in that muscle causing it to knot up!. Obviously, that needs to heal - but because of stress, it's not relaxing enough to give it a chance to heal!.
I suggest ibuprofin, gentle stretching, moist heat, and lots of relaxation!. Have you tried yoga or meditation!?
You need to teach the muscle how to relax and not tense up!. It will take time, but it will be worth it in the long run! Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
