I am 11 weeks pregnant  with my second child. I dont know if this is pregnancy related. Anyways, I've had this pain for on & off for maybe almost like a month. It starts right behind my ear like the back of earlobe & shoots down my neck & into my shoulder, it's all on my right side. Anyways a night ago it started and it didnt like go away like it use to it just was there i fell asleep and woke up yesterday with same pain so i went to my docter. He pushed into my neck muscles really hard & rotated my head & felt around. He said i have  tense muscles & i should go to physcial therapy for it so he referred me to a physical therapist & i have an appointment. Anyways later yesterday the pain behind my ear shoulder went away finally. Maybe him touching my neck kind of massagin it made it feel better? Anyways the only mild pain i feel is on the back of my neck on right side at beginning of my neck like where the skull ends. And its odd cause i only feel the pain there when i blink? So must be muscle related? I took a tylenol yesterday and it helped somewhat for a few hours. Its kind of on and off now today since i woke up. I was wondering if anyone else ever had this?

I am a seasoned massage therapist. I am also 27 weeks along with my second child. I would suggest getting at least a 30 minute massage, specifically one who knows myofascial release. Make sure the therapist you find is an LMT and has at least at couple years under their belt. Many chiropractic offices and physical therapists employ or refer out to a massage therapist they trust. You might also try adding a magnesium suppliment to your daily vitamins.  This will help with muscle injuries and cramps that are common throughout your pregnancy.

I would see a chiropractor. A plus for chiropractic care other than your neck is it helps labor and delivery progress easier when it happens.

I've had that a few times and I believe it's a pulled/strained muscle
