Extreme neck pain when moving
Hello. I am a 38 year old male who is having server sharp pain in my neck when I move and bend over. It is also bad when I cough. I woke up yesterday like this and haven't had any relief. I researched pinched nerve or could it be something simple and will it wear off or should I see a doctor?
