I have had neck pain for over two months. It starts behind my right ear and travels down my neck. I wake up in agony and often as the day goes, it feels a little less stiff but doesn t go away. I saw my PCP who suggested I go for an xray and see a chiropractor. The xray results for fine. I have visited a chiropractor ten times and feel no relief. Should I call my PCP and ask for another suggestion?
Hi, Cervical or neck pain occurs because of compression over nerve roots, which will become agent only on MRI, X-ray unless in expert hands proves not to be fruitful, sometimes compression over the nerve roots is exacerbated by muscle spasms and will be relieved by simple muscle relaxants topical or oral, so you need to get examined by an orthopedic before going on for any further investigations. Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
