Hi

So before sfn I didn't exeecise at all. I am slightly over weight since being in gabapentin (gained 18 pounds in 3 months) I should be 120 and I am 138. I decided to start swimming thinking it was a low impact form of exercise.

I started with 3 laps of the breaststroke and 3 front crawl. The next day I did 6 front crawl and 2 breaststroke. I didn't go yesterday. I think my tight neck muscles have something to do with my neck usage during swimming. ( maybe not). My neck front is sooooo tight it's feels like I am pullin against my own body just to keep my head straight and not have my chin tucked down. I have also been havin a lot of facial pain and pressure in front of my ear and into my nose and mouth ( along with burning and vibrating). Could my swimming have made my neck muscles seize up around the nerve by my ears? If so, what should I do to relieve it? ( it might just be neuropathy progression) but I just don't want this to become a permanent symptom of If it doesn't have to.
I took a flexeril on my swimming days to help prevent this from happening. I have also been taking 1 or two 400nmg advils. Doesn't seem like it worked. What should I do?
