What Causes Numbness At The Back Of The Neck?

Hello, thank you for your time in advance. The back of my neck, right side actually from the bottom of my head on into the shoulder area, I am feeling like a numbness, and it comes and goes. Along with this symptom I am feeling like a pulsating kind of feeling, weird to say the least. This just started just a few days ago. Have not done anything out of the ordinary, no stress, no falls, no being hit on the head, nothing just all of a sudden. Thank you Michael Howard YYYY@YYYY

Hi,

Numbness on bottom of neck, head and shoulder can be due to spondylitis. I suggest you to consult an orthopedician and radiological investigations for clinical assessment for exact diagnosis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
