Yes it's cervical: Pain usually from muscle strain. If it's in the center, it could be arthritis. If pain gets worse, with radiating pain from neck to arm, go see your dr and get checked for pinched nerve. Take care! http://www.Medicinenet.Com/script/main/mobileart.Asp?Articlekey=2033.

There is a good : Chance that it is cervical related, but you need to be examined and evaluated to determine this. And obtaining a cervical spine MRI will be helpful in identifying cervical pathologies that may lead to those symptoms.
