What Causes Pain At Back Side Of Neck?
The back of my neck is so sore and painful I can hardly turn it. I do not have any other symptoms - I have not slept on it wrong. This pain has been getting worse for the past month or so. The pain starts at the base of my skull and runs down the neck especially the left side
