It depends: The answer depends on many factors - your age, other medical conditions, history of trauma or infection, presence of arthritis or degenerative disk problems in your neck and more. You may want to talk about this in more detail with a doctor to find out what is going on. You can schedule a consult with any doctor on HealthTap by visiting their virtual practice! Good luck.
