What are the Symptoms of Neck Pain?

There are multiple causes of neck pain and numerous symptoms that can accompany it. For instance, pain can originate in the muscles and nerves of the neck and radiate down into the shoulder blades, arms, and hands. Conversely, issues in the shoulder, head, jaw, and upper arms may create pain in the neck. Neck pain from a condition such as whiplash may take up to 24 hours to appear, but other symptoms may come on suddenly.

Symptoms that May Accompany Neck Pain

Reduced range of motion
Muscle spasms
Burning
Stiffness and soreness
Headaches
Dizziness
Tingling
Weakness
Numbness

Contact a Professional

Neck pain may resolve itself over the course of a week or so with rest and over-the-counter medications, but if symptoms persist, you should get in touch with a medical professional. Describing the exact level of pain (mild, moderate, severe) and any other symptoms you’re experiencing to a doctor will help to determine the cause.

If you begin to experience more serious symptoms such as fatigue, difficulty swallowing and talking, nausea, fever, extreme tenderness, and sensitivity to light for more than a few days, you should contact your doctor as these could indicate a dangerous condition called meningitis. Meningitis is an infectious disease that inflames the tissue (meninges) surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
