What Causes Neck And Back Pain On Right Side And Painful Swallowing?

I have neck and back pain on my right side. has been going on and off for two weeks. Same with head aches, flashes of pain, on the right side of my head. It also hurts when I swallow but that may just be allergies. Everything seems to be only on the right side of my body. Can this be associated with a pinched nerve potentially?

hi,

thank you for providing the brief history of you.

A thorough clinical Neurological assessment is advised.

As you have pain in the right side of neck and back pain as well, it can be suspected of the spine issue. But since you are even mentioning about headache, flashes of pain and swallowing issue I will advice to undergo a clinical Neurological examination.

As most pain are just muscular and be treated with simple medicine after a clinical Neurological examination and physical therapy for the neck and back works well with functional recovery in 2-3 weeks of time.

In my clinical practice such cases are first clinically assessed and then the later part of the treatment is initiated.
