What Causes Pain In Neck Muscles?
Hi, I have been having neck pain like in the muscle behind the ear going toward the shoulder. My husband says the muscle feels like it has a knot in it. Today my 6 year old came home from school and said his neck had been huring him all day long today. He has not heard me talking about my neck hurting since he was gone all day yesterday. Thanks

Hello,
The pain in the neck can be due to a muscle spasm or due to an infected node in the area. In case there is no palpable node then a muscle spasm is more likely.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Praveen Tayal, Orthopaedic Surgeon
