Pain when sneezing (back, neck, arms)

  I am a 24 year old male. I am 5'11" and 255lbs. I am a former football player and experience extreme pain in my neck, shoulders, and arms when ever I sneeze. The pain in my neck is located around my shoulder blades and in my arms it hurts on the top of my fore arm and my bicep, and occasionally on the top part of my hand. It is starting to get extremely painful and I am not sure what I should do or what is causing it. ANY help would be greatly appreciated. I have done several Google searches but with no luck except people with similar problem, but few answers. Thanks in advance.

I am a 29 years old male. I have had severe allergies this season and have had a lot of sneeze attacks. I have had pain along the back of my neck, as well as equal pain in both shoulders that is also all a crossed my entire chest. I have played football and lifted weights. I feel as if my pain is from my muscles being tensed up so quick and hard time after time from sneezing. Today has been the worst of my sneezing in a long time. My body and muscles are not used to this type of clentching all day long, I am sure that I will be sore for days after this.

im a 26 year old male and this has been happening o and off for about 6 years. but recently gotten pretty bad where the pain sits in my right forearm for 20secs after the pain travels from my neck and shoulders all the way down my arms after a sneeze. i played foot ball for 3 years and had to stop my senior year due to 3 concussions in one season. i am finding the pain hard to deal with this year especially and after reading the other posts im worried what it will be like when im 40. email me if you have any more info. i dont have enough money to run off to a spine specialist.

i am 25, played football for 13 years, wrestled for 9, mma for about 3. i got out of the military in 2012. i have since been pretty much inactive as far as working out, lifting etc... and have also noticed that since then, every time i sneeze, EVERY SINGLE ******* TIME, parts of my body ache with tremendous pain... feeling almost constricted... sometimes its my right arm, sometimes my left, sometimes its my right leg, sometimes its my left, sometimes its both an arm and a leg, sometimes its my chest... and on rare occasions its my arms, legs, neck and chest... i feel almost paralyzed when this happens... i have had mri's, CT scans, and x-ray after x-ray... the doctors find nothing wrong with me... i was thinking it may have been a blood circulation problem, but nerve damage makes more sense... HELP PLEASE!
