Being sort of new to all this, I have questions about pain. Right now, at the base of my throat on either side, just above the bone, I have pain. I have also become exhausted. I am trying not to panic. Is this one of the "tender points" I hear so much about?
Thanks

yes, right above the clavicle is a very tender area, plus thats were your 1st rib is, which would make breathing more labored.
That area on me swells ups,
try to stretch your neck, ear to shoulder while you consecrate on keeping your shoulder down on opposite side, to open that area up

Thanks. I am kind of freaking out about it. It sort of feels swollen, though I can't see anything. Will try the stretching.

I guess I have not had any Pain Above the Collar Bone, my Tender areas are right below the collar bone, for me both sides, but my left side is Much worse.

I would go in, make sure ya have nothing else going on before ya just sweep it under the FM Rug. My tenderness has been there for 7 Years now.

I have not had it in that area. mine is lower like DakotaRose said. It sometimes makes it hard for me to breath. It feels like I have an upper respatory infection. But I can tell it is all in my muscles.
