Carotid pulsates: Neck pain that is stiff, shooting, can be investigated with an mri. The doctor who gave you Baclofen can order it and find out the cause of your very stiff neck. Now rheumatoid arthritis may be the cause, and a rheumatologist can help you understand what are your options to control rh arthritis progression.
