Severe Neck Pain
Since last week, I have been experiencing pain in my neck, specifically above the spine. The discomfort worsened yesterday, and this morning, the pain has become unbearable.
The pain is concentrated on the left side, extending from the neck area to above the left shoulder.
I am unable to move my neck to the left without extreme discomfort.
If I accidentally turn my neck to the left, it becomes very difficult to bring it back to the front.
I also experience difficulty in moving my neck up and down, which causes severe strain-like pain.
The pain feels like intense muscle strain or stiffness, making even slight movements painful.
I work as a software engineer, spending long hours on a laptop, which may be contributing to my condition.
I would appreciate your guidance on the possible causes and the best course of action.
