Hi Debs yes i have this pain in my neck been suffering all week, my physio gave me some exercises to do but still not good, I bought one of the wheat bags you warm in the microwave does help a little, I also have the problems with the burning sensation in my legs and my feet at times feels like i am walking on hot coals, The thing with Fybro is we get so many different problems. yet every time we get tested for something it comes back negative, I am sure at times they think it's all in our head, more understanding of this painful condition would be helpfull, hope you feel better soon take care hugs sent xx

hi it sounds very much like me i have had a mri scan on the base of my neck showing a bulging disc but your symptoms sound the same as mine i have tried physio but symptoms still persisting get them to do an mri scan on you.

I've also been having more or less of the same symptoms. My neck swells up too and I have pain in my shoulders. I recently had my MRI scan results back and thank

God its nothing serious as I thought it was. However, the scan showed the muscles thickened surrounded by a lot of fatty tissue. I've been told its due to stress and anxiety and It can get bigger or smaller.

Don't know if this sounds familiar to anyone.

Soft hugs n love x
