HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
The cause of the pain should be determined by blood tests and imaging.
You may need imaging of the neck and any other affected areas, CT scan or MRI may give the best results.
Blood test such as ESR (checks for inflammation),screening for autoimmune disease and myeloma , should be done.
I hope this helps
