Can my neck problem cause trouble anywhere else?

Your neck problem can sometimes cause hot, burning, shooting, or stabbing in your shoulders or into one or both of your arms. This can be due to nerve pain.

If you have any of this, you may be able to take other, more appropriate medication. You should speak to your doctor about this if you have these pains for more than one week.

Your neck problem can also cause headaches or dizziness. You should discuss these with your doctor if they have not improved within six weeks.
