A member asked:

Can back of neck and shoulder pain cause headaches? been hurting for 2 days, need relief:/

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Neck problems do -: cause a headache, referred to as Tension headaches. Get yourself seen to by your PCP to get evaluated. Try Aleve (naproxen) or Motrim ( if no hx of having side effects), plus a Muscle relaxer would be beneficial. Check with your PCP if no relief.
