I am 61 years old male very active marathon runner for many years.  I am 5 foot 8 inches and approx 145 pounds.  I excersize regular and lately when I am running at an increased racing pace I have felt sudden pain in my jaw teeth and back of neck which this pain causes pressure and pain and even goes into my shoulders occasionally.  Any idea what the problem could be?
Hi, I had gone through your problem. It would have been better if you had mentioned your problems related to the teeth. Any ways after going through your mentioned issues you are 61 years old, which means aged along with you are an active marathon runner which is really appreciable. Usually in the aged people there will be reduction in the disc spaces which results in compression of nerves causing back pain which often radiates to the shoulders, or it could be spondylitis also. Now coming to your teeth problem it is mandatory to have clinical examination. And these two are no way related. I would suggest visiting your neurologist and dentist for final diagnosis and treatment. Hope this helps you to satisfy your query.
