Question
When I turn my neck to the left I get a pain and it hurts on some type of muscle and/or vein is broken. What is it.

Answer
Jimmy,

Without the benefit of knowing your medical history or performing a physical examination, it is impossible to give you a specific diagnosis. However, in general, your symptoms appear to be consistent with a muscular problem. It is also possible that there may be associated joint dysfunction causing your neck pain when you turn it to one side. Your symptoms appear to be within the realm of chiropractic treatment, so I would recommend seeking further evaluation from a chiropractor.
