Hello I am having pain and stiffness in the neck and due to that whole head feels heavy and also my hands and legs have weakness and shivering sometimes. In the morning when I wake up whole body feels weak and I feel dizziness, I went to an ent doctor as well to rule out vertigo but its not vertigo as well he said it can be due to the neck and orthopedic doctor said it is due to muscle spasm. Please let me know how to fix this. Also I have electric shock kind of pain sometimes in the buttock region as well.
