What Causes Bruised And Tender Neck?
I have bruising on my neck (mostly one side but on both) it is bruised where my neck and shoulders meet. The side that is the worse is tender to touch and feels harder than I think it should be. Also there's seems to be swelling but very little pain and no injury. Thx

Hi welcome to the health care magic
You are having unilateral bruise near neck area
If you post photo then better idea can be there
History of trauma needs to be ruled out
It might be muscular injury induce bruise or costochondritis of clavicle
Naproxen or ibuprofen can be prescribed for that for five days
If no improvement then x ray should be done and local area examination and palpation needed
Take care
Hope your concern solved
