A member asked:
What causes chronic burning neck pain? could this be caused by a pinched nerve in the neck? please help
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: As always, a proper evaluation by a spine specialist (pm;r physician, ortho spine, or neurosurgeon for example) is needed. Chronic burning in the back of the neck can be nerve root irritation, but can also sometimes be referred from the cervical facet joints.
