Per Healthline, some less common but more serious causes of neck pain include cervical fractures (otherwise known as a broken neck), cervical disc degeneration, a herniated cervical disc (which occurs when the outer layer of a cervical disc is torn), Meningitis (which can sometimes bring on pain or stiffness in the neck), an inflammatory disease known as rheumatoid arthritis, a bone-thinning disease called osteoporosis, and the narrowing of the spinal canal known as spinal stenosis.
According to Medical News Today, other more serious causes of neck pain include spinal tumors, fibromyalgia, congenital irregularities, and severe injury.
It is advised a person seeks urgent medical attention if their neck pain has been brought on by an obvious injury, such as a fall or car accident. It is also important to see a doctor if the pain in your neck lasts longer than a week and doesn't respond to any kind of treatment, if the pain is accompanied by pain in the arms and legs, a tingling sensation in the neck, or a headache.
