Gezundheit: There are 8 nerve roots that come out of each side of the spine at the neck. One of these lower ones is getting irritated by episodes sneezing due to increased internal pressures. Less worrisome if only during sneezing. If pain at rest and other times, its more worrisome. Mention it to your doctor anyways so he or she can perform a few quick bedside tests for re-assurance.
