description: I HAVE 98000 MILES ON MY TRUCK, 90% OF IT FREEWAY MILES. EVERY TIME I HAD MADE A ROAD TRIP, THE BACK OF MY NECK WOULD BURN, AND KEEP BURNING FOR WEEKS AFTER I WAS BACK FROM MY TRIPS. TWO WEEKS AGO, AFTER DRIVING 1000 MILES, THE BURNING INCREASED TO EXTREME SHOOTING NERVE NEEDLES FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF MY NECK DOWN BELOW AND ABOVE MY SHOULDER BLADE, DOWN BELOW AND ABOVE MY RIB CAGE IN THE AREA OF MY HEART, AND AROUND THE BACK OF MY SHOULDER, DOWN THROUGH MY ARM PIT, UP THE FRONT OF MY SHOULDER AND INTO MY ROTATOR CUFF. ALL OF THIS ON THE LEFT SIDE OF MY BODY, AND ALL EMANATING FROM THE LEFT SIDE OF MY NECK, ALL THE WHILE THE BACK OF MY NECK WAS STILL BURNING. PLEASE EXCUSE THE LONG SENTENCE. THE PAIN WAS REDUCED BY 500MG OF ASPIRIN AND 500MG OF IBUPROPIN. THE NEXT DAY I HUNTED ROCKS, BENDING AND STRETCHING, AND WORKED MOST OF THE PAIN AWAY BY STRETCHING THE MUSCLES OUT. AS SOON AS I STARTED MY RETURN TRIP, THE PAIN RETURNED, ALL THE SAME AS ABOVE. AS I WAS RUBBING MY NECK I NOTICED THAT MY TRUCK DOES NOT HAVE A SHOULDER STRAP. IT HAS A NECK STRAP, SINCE THE ENTIRE STRAP WAS TIGHT UP AGAINST THE LOWER PART OF MY NECK, JERKING MY NECK EVER TIME THE TRUCK MADE A TURN OR HIT A BUMP. FOR THAT MATTER, EVERY TIME I MOVED MY BODY, THE SHOULDER STRAP PRESSED AGAINST MY LOWER NECK. WHEN I PUT THIS NECK STRAP BEHIND MY BACK, THE PAIN SUBSIDED ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. NOW I HAVE TO HAVE THE STRAP BEHIND MY BACK EVEN IN THE CITY, OTHERWISE THE PAIN IN MY NECK IS THERE ALL THE TIME. S
