What Causes Severe And Progressing Pain Behind The Neck?
Hello, Pain located in the neck is a common medical condition. Examples of common conditions causing neck pain are neck strain, poor posture, neck injury such as in whiplash, a herniated disc, or a pinched nerve. I suggest you do an x-ray of the neck to confirm the diagnosis. Meanwhile, I suggest using painkillers such as Ibuprofen. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards, Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
