Neck pains and tingles

May 11, 2020

For the last 5 months, I’ve had on and off very tingly scalp on the left side plus neck pain. I probably incorrectly identified it as a problem with the levator scapulae. I’m a bit concerned about the tingly, cramped skull and at times severe pain in the neck (only bad when I cook, try to garden or look down at my mobile!).

Do I just do the exercises and wait for it to hopefully improve?

Hi Ann

Are you doing these, if not you should:

 

but also do some thoracic spine mobility work like

 

 

 

 

I’m sure your symptoms are LS related but the muscle has stiffened up to protect your neck, and the longer this happens the more sensitised your symptoms become.

You’ll need to do these a few times a day for at least a few weeks.
