Carotid artery is a soft tissue and it cannot be seen in x-rays. Carotid artery assessment can happen with CT or sonography Doppler. Carotid artery tear pain is excruciating and an emergency which will not let you sit even for minutes so need not worry since this is more like a musculoskeletal pain let us evaluate with x-ray.
