I went to see my Chiropractor and she suggested that the SCM muscles in the neck could be a possible cause of the symptoms I described here. She worked on their trigger points (which really were tender) and we found that my C2 was also tender. She suggested that I have my RMT work on those muscles as part of my treatment plan. I will let you know how it goes. The symptoms were exasperated the other day when I had to have my head turned slightly to one side during a show at my son's school. That night it was even hurting my neck to breathe -- if that makes any sense at all -- and it hurt to talk.
