Yes I do. It is horrible ache I know. I think mine is definitely stress related also I had a snowmobile accident a couple years ago and think that something got out of whack there too...also around PMS time it gets really bad. I go to a chiropractor on ocassion. That helps big time. Instant relief. I went last month for a massage. It didn't really help the neck much but was relaxing. I think this month I'm going to go back to the chiropractor. It's cheaper and it works. The only thing that helps me is taking anti inflamatory meds like advil or excederin. Also putting ice or a bag of frozen veggies on my neck helps too. Sorry...I know it hurts. I totally get what you are saying.

Yes,I also get that feeling between my shoulder as well.
I take a shower ane set the shower head on mesage and stand in front of it for quite awhile.It's so hard to get relief when stress is a big factor.

It's an underlying stressor that you are suppressing. What is on your mind but isn't said will find a place in the body to settle. Do that too many times and you have physical problems. The mind/body thing is true.

I find that the tightness in my neck which is more pronounced on the right side can cause migraine symptoms probably it's reducing the blood supply. Exercises that target the shoulders mid back and stretches for the neck help.

yeah i get this!!! maybe its to do with over breathing also?
Some days when i get it i also get a tite chested feeling and as if somethings stuck in my throat its really scary.
