Can you develop neck problems from running? What's actually happening?

Not sure exactly what, and there may well be a link: you might have strained a muscle: it's usu recommended you warm up before you start: stamina/endurance /general training.\nI'd assume your posture has something to do with it.\nRalgex-or something of that ilk-is pretty good in the meantime, plus plenty of rest.

Back part of your neck?\n\nIt can probably be tension headache because the tension you are making on your neck muscles.\nIt seems to me you are not doing wight lifting very good. It is kinda hard for me to explain, but you have to focus your energy homogeneously with your neck, arms, abdomen, chest muscles, and not only with your neck muscles.\nTake care of yourself. Good luck

my partner has trouble with her neck.  When its acting up its better for her from behind or on her side.  if she is on her back too long it cramps up so she is on top alot as well.

I can think of a couple possibilities.  First, do you drink enough water during the day?  It's possible that when you are working out you're getting very dehydrated and that could be causing the headaches.\n\nMy other thought is that perhaps you don't maintain correct posture while working out and the strain of working out puts stress on your spine and nerves causing a migraine.  Have you ever been to a chiropracter?

It could be a combination of all the things you mention.  Pain in the shins while exercising, commonly referred to as shin splints, is a condition where there is pain in the anterior tibia caused by overuse of the anterior tibilias muscle. They are most common in inexperienced runners or runners who overtrain. The pain is usually worsened by exertion and other factors:\n\n- Running on hard surfaces\n- Insufficient padding in the shoes \n- Over-pronated and/or flat feet can also lead to increased stress on the lower leg muscles during exercise\n- High arched feet can experience shin splint discomfort because this foot type is a poor shock absorber.\n\nThe treatment for shin splints is rest. Running and other strenuous lower limb activities should be avoided until the pain subsides and is no longer elicited by activity. In conjunction with rest, icing and anti-inflammatories may be suggested by a doctor or trainer, though there is some controversy over their effectiveness. A contributing cause of shin splints in some cases is the relative weakness of the muscles on the anterior of the lower leg compared to those in the calf. In this case exercises that preferentially strengthen the anterior muscles may help alleviate or avoid shin splints.\n\nIf you are just starting to run.  Take it easy and progress into a walking program first before running.

You may need to see a doctor about it, maybe you managed to pop one of your spinal bones so now it's in a weird position in your neck. This can cause your muscles to ache like crazy.\n\nMy friend did something like this in Martial Arts she got whiplash and caused her neck bone (just one of the discs) to mis-align....\nShe had to see a bone doctor (Chiropractor) who then popped it back into place after a few sessions..... and made her neck better after a month or so... but muscles were still a little weak.\n\nShe left it too long before seeing the doctor and the mis-alignment caused her muscles around the neck to go weak.\nHence the pains....\n\nEr? you didn't do anything hectic the few days before you started noticing the pain did you?!?!?!\n\nSorry if I'm scaring you, but just a thought in case this might help.

If you have really tense neck muscles, this can cause  blockage. Sometimes related to ear aches.

Yes it is very unhealthy to pop your neck. I used to do it and I showed my doctor one day by being funny which was a smart thing to show him. He told me to immedently stop because popping your neck can slowly wear away your spinal chord which can lead to potential damage. Once you stop doing it and try it again, you can't do it so that's why I never did it again. Hope this helps!

I used to have the same problem while I ran cross country. I went from running 2 mile races to 5 mile work outs to prepare for state championship. It took me a while to finally master it but, as long as you run two miles a day without stopping it will get easier and easier. Every day run a little bit more. Then, try speed walking for the next two miles for a "cool down". If this fails, doutful, than try jogging 4 miles VERY SLOWLY--- go at your own pace. Don't get fustrated if it hurts and takes a while. That is natural. Best wishes!

Tighten up those neck muscles with exercise.

You might have a pinched nerve in your neck.  Go see a chiropractor.

That's a bit odd if you didn't gain one bit of stamina. Maybe you aren't eating right or maybe you need to work out a bit to make your muscles stronger for running. Sometimes, jogging each day a certain distance, and then increasing that distance can help you out.

It can aggravate back problems, especially if the monitor is not placed right causing poor posture in the chair. Also if the monitor isn't positioned correctly it can cause neck strain due to holding the head in an anatomically incorrect position. Neck strain can also be caused by looking at text being transcribed if the copy is not positioned properly. Prolonged keyboarding year after year can lead to arthritis of the fingers.

No, unless you mean in the bones. Did you know, if yoiu run too much, you could give onle of your leg bones arthritis? That could be on the line of what your on about. But if you play just the right ammount, it should make you stronger and healthier. It's the same for all sports!

That's some of the symptoms. Sometimes although it's not common, people will ache in their neck real bad and also have hearing loss. I hope this helps.

It is most likely what most of the others are saying....body fat falls below a certain percentage and stuff starts happening. It isn't unusual...but that doesn't mean it isn't worth asking about. Next time you go see the doctor (hopefully a doctor that understands female athletes...you don't want one that says "oh, just sit on the couch and relax instead of running :>) ask the doctor about it. Remember...its YOUR body...take care of it...and when stuff happens that make you wonder....then ask the doctor. He/she should be able to answer EXACTLY what is going on and what the effects, if any, are.

Running is good for you all around. You have to breath correctly while you run. If your not used to running I would start off jogging, or even a brisk walk. Breath in through your nose and out through your mouth.  Your lungs will do better over time. When I started running my chest would hurt more than my body.  It just took some time. I got better.
