People often say to me, “Can you take a look at my neck? Is there a big bulge where my neck meets my shoulder? Is it my self-feeling bulging or is it really bulging?” I usually give an affirmative answer: it is indeed bulging. I’ve seen it so many times that my peers have even given it a nice name: “Fortune Bun”. Of course, there are also called “bitter life bag”. What the hell is a “rich man’s bag”? Fortune Buns are usually found in the upper back at the cervicothoracic junction, where the seventh cervical vertebrae meets the first thoracic vertebrae. What is this hard mass? It’s actually a growth of connective tissue, or more simply, a mass of flesh with a layer of fat wrapped around it. Here’s a more obvious one: why would there be such a lump of meat for no reason? There are rich package of people are basically cervical spondylosis patients, plus a little bit of obese people, why cervical spondylosis will have rich package? The main reason is that the cervical spine has too much mobility, while the thoracic spine is relatively fixed and has very little mobility. A joint with a lot of mobility and a fixed joint connection, the joints are often prone to problems, just like the old-fashioned TV set with antenna. The main body of the TV set is immobile, and the antenna is often flicked around, so over time the joint between the antenna and the TV set often has problems, and the neck is the same way. Cervicothoracic junction problems in particular, the human body is a magical machine, out of the problem will take the initiative to repair it, this group of extra meat in fact the body’s compensatory response, the body found that the cervicothoracic junction is unstable, and take the initiative to strengthen the results of it. The rich package of people usually also have a hunchback chest, neck over the front of the characteristics, in fact, I wrote before that on the cross syndrome ah. What are the dangers of a fuller’s bun? The appearance of the rich bag, means the occurrence of cervical spondylosis, especially the cervicothoracic junction of the place out of the problem, the cervicothoracic junction of the place is precisely the eighth pair of nerve roots out of the place, the eighth pair of nerve roots are affected, the light side of the hand feel numb, especially the small thumb numbness (ulnar nerve distribution area), serious often interfere with the sympathetic ganglion, the emergence of cardiac symptoms, similar to angina pectoris, we are known as cervical angina. What should I do if I have a fugue bag? Many people find that this rich package is very affecting the aesthetics, is very anxious, asked this package can not be eliminated, the appearance of this package is not an overnight thing, you expect to eliminate is very difficult, and mainly rely on their own exercise, correct their chest hunchback neck forward stretching problem, rich package may be relieved, acupuncture and massage physiotherapy can alleviate rich package commonly used in the neck and shoulder pain, pain, numbness and swelling and so on, counting on External treatment method to eliminate this bag is difficult, of course, some people use chiropractic methods to adjust the spine, said the effect is good, part of it can also be eliminated, I think it is still difficult.
