I wonder if that "tendon" is actually the SCM muscle??
In a spasm??

Thank you Jo*mar,
why on earth can't GP's make these connections with symptoms?????
I've for soooooooooo long suffered from these horrid symptoms amongst many others BUT these seemed to be troublesome for me..... The occipital headaches, sinusy, dizzy,jaw ache on laughing/smiling for too long ( which wasn't fun).
I'm post 3 weeks my first rib resection op- V/A/NTOS and due to see my surgeon again in 4 weeks...... I'm definately gonna bring this up and ask to be referred to a PT to work ( gently!!!!!! ) on this for me.
Thank you so much, you are so knowledgable!
