What is Neck Pain?
The answer to this question may seem obvious, but if you ask two different people to describe their neck pain, you’re likely to get two different answers. Common neck pain symptoms include:
- Stiffness
- Stabbing or sharp localized pain
- Achy all over
- Radiating pain shooting through neck and into back or arm
- Difficulty lifting objects
- Headaches
- Decreased mobility or “frozen” neck
- Muscle spasms or twitching
- Pain that increases over time
Making it even more complicated, you may experience one or several of these neck pain symptoms and they can be persistent and chronic, or your symptoms can be acute and come and go.
