Hello! I have been experiencing neck pains for fairly sometime now... I recently visited a Pt this past January and they told me to stretch my neck to feel better. That worked for a couple of months but it just got pretty poor where I am not able to sleep or even sit still at the film theaters or at the computer. Id have a feel to crack my neck because it hurts. Not only does this impact my sleep, but now, everytime I stretch my neck to the left (the only side that really hurts), I receive this tingly feeling on my left thumb, index and middle finger Only when i stretch. What could this possibly be? How could I treat this?

Note it helps when I take muscle relaxants but I dont want to depend on them.

thanks in advance!

It sounds like a pinched nerve. Go and see an orthopedist.

don't treat/play with it, get the cause (nerve interference) corrected. see an hio method/upper cervical specific chiropractor.
