Are You Suffering from Neck Pain?
The more you know about neck pain causes the better off you will be.
Believe it or not, most people suffer from neck pain causes at some
point in their life. Yours may be more serious than others, or maybe it
is just a minor tweak. But no matter what, if you know what this is all
about and how to address the problem you will be better off. This is one
of those potential health concerns that you want to know a lot about
even if you are not suffering.
So what neck pain causes are most common? It is hard to say what
cause is the most common of them all, but many believe that it is muscle
strains. If you pull a muscle in your neck or back it can lead to a lot
of pain in the area. In fact, the pain can be so bad that it may make
you wonder if you didn't hurt yourself in another way.
Of course, there are more serious issues that can come up over time.
For instance, a herniated disk can lead to a lot of pain and eventually
cause problems in other areas as well. This is something that needs
treated by an experienced doctor, and may even call for surgery
depending on how bad your situation is.
Finally, another one of the most common neck pain causes is injury.
This can include anything from a car accident to falling down. Landing
on your neck the wrong way or being suddenly hit without notice can lead
to injury to the neck and back.
If you are suffering from neck pain it is important to receive a
proper diagnosis. Even if you think you know what the problem is you
should see your doctor just to make sure. Neck pain is not something
that you want to take lightly as minor problems can linger and get worse
over time.
Now that you know more about neck pain causes you are in better
position to handle this problem should you begin to suffer.
Question: Yellow jacket sting to head leads to swollen neck?
(Posted by: Mewey on 2009-08-16 07:20:10)
I got stung in the back of the head by a yellow jacket yesterday, because it climbed into my hair and got stuck. I had my father remove the yellow jacket and stinger, and there was a small bump on the back of my head, slightly to the left. It didn't hurt more than normal, I think. But this morning I woke up and my neck is sore and on the left side of my neck there is a tender, swollen lump about the diameter of a ping pong ball (though it doesn't stick out very far). The pain is not excruciating or anything, but I was wondering what this could indicate, as it is only the second time I have been stung and thought that swelling only occurred directly at the sting location.

If the lump is at the juncture of your jaw and neck, located almost directly below your ear line, what you could be feeling is your lymph node. Whatever is injected into your body via the stinger is being filtered out through your lymph nodes. The bump is draining to one side which is why only one is swollen. As a side note, if you have an allergic reaction to a sting, the swelling may not be localized to the stung area. It's possible to see signs of swelling in the hands, feet, face, eyes and throat. If the swellings gets worse, go directly to the hospital. If you've been stung before and this swelling seems worse than before, and if you live somewhere prone to bee, wasp or yellow jacket stings, you should also speak to your doctor about possibly prescribing an Epi-Pen. Good luck, Sam
