What Causes Pain On The Centre Of The Neck And Breast?

Hi, I am 27 years old. I am feeling a pain in left side and center of the neck and little of pain In left side breast and below it. 3 years back I met with an accident where i got a pain in neck and back. After that left side of my neck i mean the area from neck to shoulder is little swollen compared to right side. when i sit in front of the computer for longer time or when i carry heavy items i get pain in neck and back. I feel uncomfortable bec of this pain. So this pain at the neck, left side and upper back can be because of that also? Do i need to take any pain killer for that?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hi, I have gone through your Question and Understand your concern.

As advised by you this pain on your left side of your neck and below the breast might be the result of your accident which you had 3 years back, it seems as and when you strain using same posture for long time it will build pressure on the muscle and the pain is coming back, generally the reason behind the pain might be because of damage to the muscle in the neck and upper back.

I would suggest you to change the posture frequently and do some small neck exercises at regular intervals which soothers your pain but if the pain persists and unbearable please see a Doctor who would recommend painkillers or other drugs and suggest neck brace or collar to add support.

Hope this will help you.

Thanks
Dr. Alekhya.
