What Causes Sporadic Stiffness In Collar Bone And Shoulder Blades?
Hi I have a tight feeling that comes and goes along my collarbone area and along my shoulder blades. I am 34 and in good health and not overweight. I am an anxious person when I feel as though something is wrong. I started getting neck adjustment from the chiro, not sure if this is related?

Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sporadic stiffness in collar bone and shoulder blades . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query sciatica , herniated disk , foraminal stenosis , cervical osteoarthritis or cervical degenerative disc disease . I would suggest you to consult orthopedic surgeon for proper examination . Doctor may take histroy , check movement of leg and neck , order CT scan or MRI to confirm the diagnosis . Doctor may prescribe muscle relaxant , anti inflammatory , vitamin supplement like vitamin D 3 and in some cases doctor may recommend surgery . Doctor may also recommend bed rest or particular stretching exercises . Drink warm milk with half spoon turmeric powder daily .For now apply warm compresses to neck and leg and take proper rest .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
