What Causes Throbbing Neck Pain?

Hi.. My neck hurts all of a sudden with pain similar to whiplash. I ve not been involved in any vigorous activity that may lead to this. The strange thing is that it s intermittent. The pain is throbbing and is aggravated when i look down. Any thoughts on this?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement 's  Response
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think that this pain can be due to muscle sprain in the neck. I would suggest you to get x ray of the neck to see if there is any sign of spasm. Also if there is any reduction in the disc space.
I would also suggest you to take Myospaz or Myoril tablet for muscle relaxation. Hot water fomentation and volitran gel will also be helpful for you.
thanks
I find this answer helpful
