In the last 3 weeks I have been sort of OK doing short walks every second day. I was managing the pain with my pain management medication.

Yesterday everything changed for the worse. I opened the oven door to get a tray out, therefore I had to bend to the right and lower my head to see inside and suddenly I felt a extremely sharp pain in the left side of the neck near the base of it.

The pain was unbearable in an instant!

It felt like a massively tight knot, as if something was winding up inside. The pain was also shooting to the left groin, left leg and foot making them painful and tight. I became breathless for some seconds and my stress levels went up automatically. This was followed my headaches, left ear and jaw pain.
Also bicep, triceps, left hand and fingers pain. I feel pain in the thumb, index, middle and ring fingers intermittently.

I tried to do very gentle neck stretches such as turning my head left and right, gentle chin tucks, massages, but they didn't help. Then I reached for the ice pack, the the hot pack alternating every 20 minutes a few times, but it didn't improve my condition

I took more medication which attenuated the pain a little bit. All of yesterday I was in pain with hardly any relief. Last night I couldn't lie down and couldn't sleep at all.

This morning is the same as yesterday where I can't get relief, sitting, lying down and standing are difficult. My balance is not 100% when walking around the house.

The pain was above anything that I experienced before.

Can anyone with explain what might be causing this incredible tightness and pain?
What could have happened to make me so bad?

The left of my trapezius muscle feels very tight.

I am too scared to go to the physio because every time they touch me I get aggravated.

Thank you guys.
