What Causes Shoulder And Neck Pain With Headaches?
My husband has had real bad shoulder and neck pain so bad at times the pains in his neck give him headaches, I took him to doctor & he wants him to have a x ray will the show possible arthritis or whatever it could be cuz he's only 32 but these problems have already happened with his dad. What other questions could I ask the doctor to help his discomfort and he not have to take prescription pain meds?

It is a sort of radiating pain quite uncomfortable, u can go for mild relaxing, physiotherapy exercises .please meet a neurosurgeon to rule out the problem. Do not tke more painkillers,

He can start using a softcollar to prevent excessive movement of the neck.
