A member asked:
One of the arteries in my neck hurt and looks bigger than the one on the other side but i had ultra sound on neck a few months ago everything was okay?

Carotid Ultrasound: An ultrasound of the neck is an extension of the physical examination. If every was normal on the ultrasound, that is good news. If your symptoms are persisting, or the artery is getting larger, it is time for a check up.
