Neck Pain when wearing a scarf or jacket

2017-11-07 16:53:12
I've been having neck pain whenever I wear a scarf or a jacket or even a light necklace, anything that rests against my neck. The pain starts at the nape of the neck and continues for some time even after removing the scarf/jacket. Please advise.

You need to go for neck exercises and but specifically Sternocleidomastoid muscle stretching..That is the one that is causing pain. Before stretching go for hot fomentation!  Take any physio's help

Hi the answer is hidden in your question. It is postural & positional pain. Avoid heavy clothes & scarf around the neck. Please do shoulder & neck strengthening muscles exercises. Change your posture frequently.
