What Causes A Headache And Upper Left-sided Neck Pain While Having Hip Pain?
I am in need of a left hip replacement and it s really putting a strain on me as far as walking I now have a limp when I walk also, recently the back of my upper neck on my left side hurts really bad and the pain gives me a headache, could that be coming from the pain associated with my hip?

Hi,
No, hip pain can not cause neck pain and headache. You might have pulled trapezius muscle which is giving left sided neck pain and headache. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid sudden jerky movements of neck and head.
2. Apply ice packs on left neck.
3. Take painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs like Ibuprofen and Thiocolchicoside. You will mostly improve with all these in 2-3 days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
