Everytime I turn to the left or tilt my head back and to the left there is an incredibly sharp pain associated with the movement. Especially when I tilt my head in the backwards direction, the pain shoots from my neck upwards and almost feels like its going up into my head a little bit.
I went to the doctor several days ago for a headache on the right side of my head, and she said it might have been associated with neck tightness on the right side of my neck. Until yesterday morning, my left side was feeling perfectly fine. Then as I was taking a shower, I suddenly felt a sharp pain when I tried to look left. Maybe it happened because I was favoring my left side because of my doctor's diagnosis? I'm not really sure, but the left side is incredibly painful especially when I tilt it backwards and to the left, as mentioned before. I do not have a headache anymore though. I have tried hot showers, a hot water therm-ace, and have tried to massage left side butt nothing has worked. It is almost as if the tightness is coming from a spot farther up in my neck almost into my head. I can feel that the left side has much tighter muscles than the right side of the neck. The pain has not really gotten better or worse in a total of about 28 hours. I really appreciate anyone giving me a helpful answer. Thanks for your time.
