I was benching about a week ago and was doing a heavy day when all of a sudden I felt a burn go right up my neck from shoulder up side of neck to ear canal and then the pain hit. Felt like I had an ear pain the next day and I haven’t been able to lift since. I took a week off from any benching and upper body and Monday I went back tried very light weight and after two sets of ten it happened again it fells kind of like a pulled growing but in my neck and ear. I was wondering if it has happened to any one else and how long it took to heal I will be going to the doc. soon if it does not stop. But hate to spend the money for them to tell me it just takes time.:surprised:

Sounds like you strained your neck, except more serious. I have done this a several times and it usually clears up in a few days with a little A535 rub, ibuprofen and rest.

I would probably see a doctor if its persisting and reoccurring like you say it is. It may be something more serious.
