Very common: neck and lower back pain, are very common. In fact, neck and lower back pain accounts for the majority of doctor visits in this country. I am assuming, that you have not been in an accident, or injured your neck in any way, otherwise you would have stated that.the most common cause of neck and lower back pain, when it comes ona herniated disk, can also cause neck pain because of local instability.
