Cervical: It could be multiple reasons but musculoskeletal cevical pain is likely. It means it can be related to increased tension of your neck muscles or it could be due to a problem with the anatomy of your cervical spine. Start with over the counter anti inflammatory meds like ibuprofen. See your primary MD if not better.
