Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have had neck pain and stiffness for awhile. now it hurts in my vertebrae area when I swallow I do not have a sore throat and I am well otherwise. I feel sharp pain on the left side of my spinal column in a very specific area mid way up my neck. no other sx but my neck feels odd
Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Pain and stiffness in neck are mostly due to cervical spine and vertebrae related pathology. You are also having pin point pain in neck. This also favors cervical spine pathology more. So get done x ray and MRI of cervical spine for the diagnosis. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
