A member asked:
Could my neck and shoulder pains be causing my head to have issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: There are several joints and intervertebral discs in the neck. These can wear out over time leading to pain. Degeneration of the joints or discs can cause neck pain, headaches, and/or shoulder pain.
