What Cause Severe Neck Pain Post A Surgery?

default
Posted on Wed, 10 May 2017
Question: I have an odd pain in the neck area. I know at first you thing heart attack. But from what I have read it may be a strained ligament? It hard to explain. It is located in the collar bone area and spans up to the ear and back of the neck to shoulder??? It is not on just one side it occurs on both from time to time. Currently it is causing sharp pain on the left side. Some history, I have had lower lumbar surgery for a buldged disc in 1998, and then in 2010 neck surgery for the same along with bone spurs.
