What Causes Frequent Painful Spasms In Neck Towards Left Side?
HI DOCTOR,
I FREQUENTLY SUFFER FROM A SPASM IN MY NECK IT ONLY OCCURS IN THE LEFT SIDE AND IS EXTREMELY PAINFUL. IT USUALLY STARTS WITH A CRACK NOISE AND THEN ESCALADES TO A SHARP ELECTRIC STIFF PAIN THAT COMES WHEN THE MUSCLE IS MOVED.
WHAT IS THE CAUSE OF THIS? HOW DO I TREAT IT AND CURE IT ONCE AND FOR ALL?

Hi , I have gone through your details and In my opinion you are probably suffering from cervical spondylosis.
I suggest x ray of neck , mild pain killers , muscle relaxants and most importantly Isometric neck Exercises.
There is nothing called cure for once and all- you will have to do regular exercises to prevent future episodes.
