I m constantly have this sharp pain on the right side of my neck. It pulsates at times, comes and goes every month or so. When I touch it I feel like its right around the area where the artery is in my neck. The pain shoots into my jaw as well. I am a right side sleeper, which I ve read can cause issues with acid reflux. Any ideas?
Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history. As the symptoms suggest me it is more of a muscular pain and with thorough clinical examination and if required an MRI of cervical spine should help us understand the causative factor. Also, the pain in the neck can be due to some factors like - trapeziums, clerical muscle spasm or degenerative disc pathology. Post the clinical examination and MRI the treatment will be initiated with Chat Doctor.  Also, physical therapy for improving the muscle strength to make the neck muscles stronger. This pain radiating to the jaw can be due to muscle spasm in the neck as a part of a referred pain. Regards Jay In
