A member asked:
I've had a headache for a week and a half and a pain on the left side of neck and shoulder, what could be causing this?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Neck arthritis: There are several joints and intervertebral discs in the neck. These can wear out over time leading to pain. Degeneration of the joints or discs can cause neck pain, headaches, and shoulder pain.

Need more info: There are many reasons why you might be having the symptoms that you are reporting- pitched nerve, infection, tmj/tmd, etc. Are the symptoms chronic or acute, trauma related, change through the day or just upon awakening...? Should see a doctor to discuss the history and have a thorough exam.
