What Causes Episodes Of Neck Pain And Stiffness?
For the last few days I have had episodes of neck pain and stiffness accompanied by chills. The episodes come on quicky and last a few hours and seem to go away as quickly. The first time it happened was the most severe and included overall body aches. Today, not so bad, just neck soreness and slight chills. I am not running a temperature and I feel pretty normal between episodes. I have had about 4 episodes in last 3 days. I am a 63 y.o. male in otherwise good health. I take levothyroxin and atorvostatin daily. I have been ill with flu twice this winter. What might be going on with me?
