Hi, I have a dull pain almost like a strained muscle feeling in the lower right hand side of my neck area. Down toward the Thyroid area. I work out a lot so my first guess is that I strained something. It does flare up after I work out. My only concern would be that I had a partial thyroidectomy back in 1991 for benign tumor on my thyroid. I also changed my Thyroid medication several months ago from Armor to Nature Throid. So I need to see if my levels are normal. Anyway, the pain also seems to go into my upper chest are and sometimes my shoulder. Do you think it is a strain?
Hi, It may be due to cervical spine related problems like spondylitis or contusion. As a first line of management you can take analgesics like Tramadol for pain relief. If the symptoms persist long, you can consult an orthopedics and get evaluated. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
