I have had INSANE neck tension and what I think is a pinched nerve or vein bc it effects my breathing and muscle function on the left side of my body. I had been doing physical therapy trigger point release and heat on my neck to get it to unlock and it was only a little bit here and a little crack there but couldn’t bend my neck over to the right hardly at all. My neck was pulling in my clavicle— the sternocoloidalmastoid muscle on the left was shorter and stiff and just making me misterable and causing immense tightness and anxiety which just became a vicious cycle which caused immense upper back and mid back and chest/arm pain. My shoulders were being pulled forward by my tight chest from all the anxiety too. It was INSANE. Multiple doctors and ER visits later and all they diagnosed me with was asthma (which I knew already and was treating separately with little success bc I couldn’t even open my chest or rib cage to breath deep for the last 3 years). I’ve been just getting by, until my spouse pulled this out of the cabinet (we got it a few months ago when we were in Hoboken) and applied it to my neck up into the occipital muscles and all the way around the front of my chest, and all over my shoulders to address the trapezius and rotator cuff muscles that were just tight as could be. I’m so thankful for this cream because within 3 mins I began to feel mild relief, and my neck relaxed a lot and now after 20 mins it’s releasing and crack a lot more. My left nostril has opened up wide since I put it on my back of neck and side of neck up into behind my jaw below the occipital muscle. This means I can breath almost normal again which I haven’t been able to do for 3 years, thinking it was asthma because regular doctors didn’t do anything to help me and thought I was just a stressed out psycho. I’m not. I just couldn’t breath from a pinched something in the side/back of my neck that I laid on a few years ago on the firm arm of a couch. I remember the day it happened and now I can remember today as the day I finally found something to relieve it and all the pain i been dealing with from the tension from the anxiety and lack of proper oxygen flow through my body. Glad I’m still alive to tell you about it. Get this cream! You won’t regret it!
