What Causes Burning Sensation In Neck Near Collar Bone?

I have pains in my neck, near my collarbone, kind of like a burning sensation. It has been happening for about three/four days. I also have had a bad stomach ache but the two don t seem related. My neck pain worries me more. I ve tried tums and Prilosec, no relief.

Hi,
Thanks for your query.
From history it seems that you might be having some pinched nerve pressure pain due to some degenerative changes in your cervical spines.
Go for x ray cervical region for spondilitis changes.
Treatment includes
1. Use of cervical collar helps in immobilisation and brings relief.
2. Medical drugs like pain killers - acetaminophen/ibuprofen and muscle relaxants might be helpful.
3. Methylcobalamin supplements are also recommended for nerve compression symptoms.
4. Cervical isometric exercises are beneficial to maintain the strength of the neck muscles. Neck and upper back stretching exercises, as well as light aerobic activities, also are recommended under the guidance of a physical therapist.
5. Hot fomentation helps in relieving acute symptoms.

I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
