A member asked:
What could cause throbbing/pulsating back pain that travels into my neck. only lasts for a few seconds & its gone. have had this for many years. ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
MuscleSpasm&possibly: partially sensing pulse in upper chest & into neck, far less common but if the pulsating pattern is in perfect synchrony with carotid pulse in neck (learn to feel this), then this would fit. Spasm of the powerful muscles (support/move the vertebral column) located around & behind the vertebral column, are far more likely the mechanism. All (but heart) muscle contraction requires orders from brain.
