What causes pains from the right hand side of the neck to the skull?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Muscles and Nerves: Typically either side of neck and head are provided sensation by nerves that supply them exiting out of the neck and head. Muscles also lying in that area may be the issue as well. If there is a history of neck pain that should be evaluated since there could be arthritis, nerve impingement or herniated disks involved. History of head trauma could also result in this pain as well.

TMD? Cerv strain?: This can be pain associated with cervical strain from poor head posture, trigger points, and temporomandibular dysfunction among other possible causes... Clenching and grinding your teeth with a bad bite is a classic cause...
