Most humble greetings.

I am glad I found this forum, and that I am not alone.

I am experiencing extreme pain/burning and tightness in Trapezius, SCM, along collar bone, under and left side of Adams apple, and under my chin. Oh, and behind my head. All this with sparking/paresthesia in my left hand (same side as the other symptoms.) In addition, some swallowing trouble (feels like I am being strangled.)

Meds: Nurontin, Ativan, and Ibuprofen.

Any advice and friendly fellowship is appreciated, as I appreciate y'all and literally...I feel your pain.
