A member asked:

I am a ichthyosis(skin) patient. long term shoulders and neck painin recent year. i don't know any relationsjip between them. what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor can evaluate: There are many possible causes of pain in the neck. A doctor can evaluate to figure it out. There could be a muscle strain or spasm, inflammation in the joints or tendons, nerve pain from the spine or on the skin, an outbreak of shingles, etc... If a person is older or otherwise at risk for cancers, the doctor will look for tumors as well. Young people more often have muscle spasms or strains.
