Neck and throat pain

Hello Doctors,

I am currently running the powerbuilding 1 template.

In the last few days, I started feeling stiffness/pain/burning sensation/discomfort in the jaw, throat, ear and cheek area, mostly on the left side, it started after a heavy squat session, I kinda think it’s something physical rather than something serious, but I’m unsure about it, just wanted to get your input whether this should be looked into further with a doctor or if it could be related to exercise/posture etc.

Don’t know if it matters but I have a desk job and work from home, usually put in 10-12 hours a day sitting in front of a laptop.

I usually wake up without symptoms, but as sure as I start working/using the laptop/playing videogames, basically anything, the pain comes back.

I am familiar with your approach to pain, but I’m really unsure how to apply it in this situation.

Many thanks!

I don’t have a great explanation this. If it’s persistent and concerning to you, it would be reasonable to get it evaluated.

Damn, not what I was expecting hehe, well, I’m gonna wait it out a bit and see if it gets better before going to see a doctor.

Thanks a lot for replying, Doc!
