This clamps up the midline right so intense I don’t want to be here anymore and it causes pulling up to occipital bone. It also refers to the midline front of the neck and yanks me front to back in the torso it’s debilitating and 38 therapists can’t help me thus far 5 years post injury not one can release it whatever it is

I stretched my neck the other day and felt the muscle was tight and it out pressure on my nerve i think because i felt and "electric shock" and have been ferling out if sorts.
I hope it wasnt the artery..
