What Causes Neck Muscle Pain?
Hi...woke one day with a very swollen neck muscle right side only. Only noticed it when clenched jaw. There is no pain. Dr said nothing wrong, had blood tests noyhing wrong. Dr who did tests said they had the same problem and it was partoid muscle?..chiropractor not sure what causing it. Been seeing chiro for 14 years due to right neck muscle being out for 34 years due to whiplash injury at 12yo. Chiro says submandibular area..some mornings its slightly better...but by end of day its very large if i clench jaw and in mirror completly different from left side. No pain at all. Just came on suddenly 4years ago. Thanks

Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to a swollen salivary gland. For this reason, I recommend performing an ultrasound of the soft tissues in the neck area.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
