View Full Version : shoulder drop

My husband has started to walk with his right shoulder dropping lower than his left shoulder. It would seem that this is a sign of muscle weakness in the right shoulder or neck. Can anyone confirm that this is a normal sign of muscle weakness in the neck and shoulder region?

Hi Candi,.......I started with shoulder and neck weakness on the right side about a month ago. Now my head drops to the right all the time. It takes so much energy to keep my head upright and becomes very painful. My daughter brought me a cervical collar which I wear for a little relief. Hope this doesn't happen to your hubby as it is literally a 'PAIN IN THE NECK". If anyone has any experience with head drop and any suggestions I would love to hear them. Good luck. Sharon
