What to Do
The general rule of thumb when it comes to dealing with sudden neck pain is the rest up and wait it out. However, if your are still struggling with pain 4 weeks later, or day by day pain is worsening instead of easing, it is definitely worthwhile to make an appointment with a specialist.
When sudden neck pain goes hand and hand with other symptoms such as intense unrelenting headaches, fevers, chills, weight loss or nausea, it is essential that you see a medical emergency professional as soon as possible as these are all red flags that could indicate a more serious problem.
