For the last 7 to 10 days, I have had pain in my neck area also. Painful to the touch. Right side of head. Starting at a level top of my ear and skin behind it. It extends down my neck to my clavicle. Maybe 6 or 8 inches wide. It includes my nape, neck, top of shoulder and ear. No other symptoms associated with it. The pain is similar to a sunburn or a rug burn. It is annoying because my clothing brushes my skin and it hurts. When I lay down to sleep it is present. Have appt to see dr tomorrow.
