A member asked:
What would cause neck pain/stiffness with pain thats slowly spread over top of back throughout the day, worse when moving arms, coughing, walking etc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mus sprain or spine: Muscle sprain of the cervical paraspinal muscles (strap muscles) can cause your symptoms. Also a bulging disc in the cervical spine can cause this, as can cervical facet joint arthritis. If it last more than 2-3 weeks, neck imaging should be ordered by your PCP
