Sclerotogenous Neck Pain
What Feinstein found:
Upper Cervical neck pain can sometimes radiate to the head, causing headaches. Because irritation to the soft tissues of the neck is poorly localized, the pain is felt to be a diffuse ache. Researchers found the following results when they injected volunteers with a salene solution designed to cause soft tissue irritation. They injected the deep neck muscles.
They found some interesting pain referral patterns as they went further down the neck. As they irritated the lower parts of the neck, they found that the pain radiated into the shoulder blade and even down the arm. This radiation wasn't exactly the same course as the nerves take, so they surmised that it takes the course of myotome development. In other words, the muscles that sprout out of common areas as other muscles during development also feel the pain.
