Answer
Hi, Joe,

Based on the little information you have given me, I reckon that you might have tight muscles in your neck and back -- tight enough to be pinching nerves.

I'd see a doctor to rule out anything more serious.

Then, I'd look into some brain-muscle training to relieve the tight muscles.  Articles on the method I recommend exist at somatics.com/page4.htm.  Look for articles on back trouble.

with regard,
