Specializes in Neurology

Podiatrist.: I am a neurologist, that pain your suffering is most likely musculoskeletal. This is usually due to arthritis in the neck, or some type of recent or previous injury causing spasms and instability. I would see if is iatrist first to see if this could be managed as conservatively as possible

Neurologist: unlikely to be due to a serious cause but have a check up if it continues
