A member asked:

What to do if half way between the back and left side of my neck really really hurts?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Muscular pain: Probably it is muscular pain, try icing and anti-inflammatory medicine with proper stretching. If pain continues more than 2 wks, have it examined to rule out underlying arthritis in the back.
