What Causes Pinching Sensation At The Back Of The Neck?
Hi, I have been going to the gym, weight lifting for about 3 months now , but the other day I was pushing really hard on one of the workouts and I got a really bad pinching feeling behind right where my neck attaches to the back of my skull. I don t know if I pinched a few nerves but now every time I push hard to lift weights that pinching feeing comes back and I get a headache feeling for a bit?

Hi,
It is probable that you strained muscles or tendons during that episode of weightlifting. It is advisable to avoid physical activity for a week or two, or, at least, to avoid movements, positions that trigger the symptoms.
Local warm procedures may help.

Let me know if I can assist you further.
