How arthritis causes neck pain... Pain can come from anywhere! Also, neck pain can be referred from the shoulder, the upper chest, or even the heart! ?Problems in the soft tissues of the neck such as growths or tumors affecting the thyroid gland, esophagus (food pipe) or trachea (wind pipe) can also lead to neck pain Injury to the muscles and ligaments (example= whiplash auto accident) can cause neck pain. Dr. Wei declares, "This is the type of problem I have had for many years. I've been rear-ended a few times and I have degenerative arthritis in the neck at the C5-6 level. Patients I have talked with agree with me when I report popping or grinding in the neck with movement. Other patients say it "feels like sand back there" when they move their head?" Pain from whiplash can radiate up the back of the head and cause headache. It may also radiate into the shoulders or between the shoulder blades. Dr. Wei also adds, "Some types of neck pain are dangerous. When neck problems are associated with pressure on the spinal cord, this is called myelopathy and is a neurosurgical emergency!"
