Most people will experience neck pain at some point in their lives. Neck pain can be acute (meaning it lasts a few hours to a few weeks), or it can be chronic (lasts several weeks or longer).
Most causes of neck pain aren't serious. Poor posture at work, such as leaning into your computer, and during hobbies, such as hunching over your workbench, are common causes of neck pain.
But sometimes neck pain can signify something more serious. If your neck pain is so severe that you can't touch your chin to your chest despite a few days of self-care, seek immediate medical attention.
Neck pain takes many forms. Signs and symptoms of neck pain may include:
- Pain in your neck that may feel sharp or dull
- Stiffness in your neck
- Difficulty going about your daily tasks because of pain or stiffness in your neck
- Shoulder pain in addition to neck pain, in some cases
- Back pain in addition to neck pain, in some cases
