The pain you describe may be following the course of a nerve.
If you can get prompt attention the doctor may consider shingles without
a rash. Treating you with antivirals at an early stage may help and additionally
you could get help with pain management.

This is what I did for the tenderness on my neck(right side also). It’s similar to what I felt the first time I had shingles. That time there was physical evidence in the form of the rash. Thankfully the doctor recognized the symptoms after he’d suffered the same thing in the past. Got me on antivirals and I was spared the agony most people have.
I’ve been suspected to have it a few years ago and it’s the same thing this time but no rash. I’ve heard that the rash isn’t always external and wondered if that’s what this was.
Currently on antivirals for 5 days now and no improvement. Can’t remember the length of time it took to feel better the other two times. I REALLY need to stop putting off the vaccination.
I hope this is helpful to someone, somehow.
