HELP PLEASE---Extremely PAINFUL CRAMPS' in front of NECK/THROAT?

Hi I need help
I am getting such bad neck cramps,

it happens almost daily anyway when I yawn or just out of nowhere, I get an extreme painful "cramp" almost like a 'charlie horse' in my neck that lasts for 20 or 30 seconds and hurts so bad that have to close my mouth and cant talk at all, sometimes it happens when i will open my mouth wide to brush my teeth, and will and also when i touch my neck while the spasm is going on, it feels very hard and moves from one one side of my neck to the center of my neck. its ahorrendous pain that doesn't lat a long time but happens often.

Any idea why it is happening and what could it be? can a chiropractor help this pain?

I thought it was TMJ but I have no problem with my jaw or have any symptoms of TMJ also since the cramps are on my neck I doubt its TMJ


Answers:

sounds like esophageal spasms which are spasming of the muscles in the food pipe down ur throat. They can be caused by hot and cold foods which trigger the spasming. Sometimes this condition can be caused by leakage in the muscle sphincter which connects ur food pipe to your stomach. You should get urself checked out by ur family doctor... u might need some kind of anti reflux medication or further tests. Good luck!
