Feeling that ribs, collar bone, and tendon in neck are sticking out..driving me CRAZY!!! whats wrong with me?!


Question: Feeling that ribs, collar bone, and tendon in neck are sticking out..driving me CRAZY!!! whats wrong with me.?
when i was in elementary school i had a disorder thing where I couldn't stand the feeling of certain clothes....anything from embroidery on my shirts to the seams on my socks drove me crazy. It got to a point where i actually kicked my mother in the face when she tried to force me to wear jeans. I never wore shoes in the winter and instead wore sandals. Now years later Ive learned to not let it bother me so much. But in the last year Ive started to get uncomfortable and sometimes struggle to fall asleep. my ribs feeling like they are sticking out and my collar bone feeling feels the same and the tendon in my neck feels like its poking out.... Its driving me crazy!!!
( I don't think it has anything to do with the point that I'm skinny but my collar bone and ribs bother me A LOT!!!)
(right now my collar bone is bugging me but it doesn't hurt at all)Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Dee don't freak out, this isn't an abnormal thing. A lot of people have experienced this, including myself. My collarbone never bothered me, neither did my Sternocleidomastoid muscles, I think that is what you were referring to when you said the "tendon" in your neck. It's actually a muscle. But my ribs used to bother me a lot.

Whenever I would lie on my back it would feel like they were poking out too far. The problem was that I was too skinny and so whenever I would lie on my back my chest would be up a good 2 inches higher than my stomach, causing it to pull and stretch the skin making it very uncomfortable.

The way that I cured myself is by gaining weight. I know that is probably not the answer that you were looking for at all but it did work. Now don't misunderstand, im not telling you to gain weight until you get fat. All i'm saying is put on 5 lbs or so and you'll notice that it won't feel quite as stretched.

You could aslo try hypnotherapy, or relaxation techniques to take your mind off the feeling.

One last possibility that I can throw out to you is that you may be suffering from Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. There are different variations of the disorder and having the inability to get or maintain good body image isn't unheard of for people with OCD. This is probably not the case but it's a possibility is all i'm saying.
