Posted on Wed, 15 Jul 2015
Question: My neck hurts on the right side from my shoulder to the base of my skull. Really hurts. All the time even with a heating pad and an ice pack. I am exhausted all the time and cannot sleep. April 1,2015 I had to have a stent put in my heart. I am a 66 year old female. On a scale from 0-10 the pain is a 9.99. Thank you.
