Can a nerve in the neck trap and then release over and over for 5yrs. so agony for days then 2 days ok then back to agony. or is this spasms? brain?

Cervical disc: Cervical disc disease or a herniated cervical disc often cause pain off and on as you describe. Inflammation and/or movements in the neck can cause more pressure on the nerve resulting in pain. This is usually diagnosed with an MRI. Treatment options include epidural steroid injection or surgery.
