What Causes Bruised And Tender Neck?

I have bruising on my neck (mostly one side but on both) it is bruised where my neck and shoulders meet. The side that is the worse is tender to touch and feels harder than I think it should be. Also there's seems to be swelling but very little pain and no injury. Thx

Hi welcome to the health care magic

You are having unilateral bruise near neck area

If you post photo then better idea can be there

History of trauma needs to be ruled out

It might be muscular injury induce bruise or costochondritis of clavicle

Naproxen or ibuprofen can be prescribed for that for five days

If no improvement then x ray should be done and local area examination and palpation needed

Take care

Hope your concern solved
