Neck pain and headache
Hi! I had a cramp in my lower back 2 weeks ago. After 2 days, I developed a swelling on back of my neck. And since then I have constant neck pain and headache. For last week, it has got worse. I consulted a general physician as well as a neurologist, they say it's a neck spasm. Please suggest, whether should I get an MRI done?
