What Causes Painful Spasms In The Side Of Neck?

I get sudden painful spasms on the left side of my neck in which it feels like something (not foreign) gets stuck making it difficult to swallow until it slips back or is coaxed back into place. A yawn can trigger it, for example. I feel intense pain during and after, like it impacts my nerves in my teeth.

Hi,Thanks for your query. After going through your query I came to know that you get sudden painful spasms on the left side of neck . Treatment of is analgesic such as ibuprofen. and rest. Cervical collar can be worn. For long term relief Evion LC may be useful. You need to get your Vitamin D and VitaminB-12 level checked . If these came not to be low then these can be supplimented. You can discuss with your treating Doctor about it. I do hope that you have found something helpful.
