@novajeff I would ask for full spine MRI imaging. In my case, I had spinal cord compression at C5/C6 that caused pain all over my body. It is called funicular pain, and that was missed by 5 spine surgeons before I came to Mayo. You could have issues in another part of your spine unless that has been ruled out by imaging. I had pain in my head, neck and jaw and cervicogenic headaches, all of that was above the level of my spinal cord compression. Muscle spasms were partly to blame. I have a bulging lumbar disc which was pretty asymptomatic until I had spinal cord compression in my neck and then a lot of sciatic pain, and pain everywhere, in every dermatome in my body. At first, I cold change where the pain was by turning my head and repositioning the bone spurs on my spinal cord, and it was reproducible. None of those surgeons listed when I said that, and all denied help to me, so I came to Mayo where this was understood after I found medical literature with cases like mine. You might ask about alignment of your skull on top of your spine. If it is askew possibly from a muscle spasm, it can cause those symptoms. A lot of doctors don't put their hands on your neck to feel the alignment of the spinous processes on each vertebrae. Physical therapists do that a lot. After you get imaging and find out if you have instability in any part of the spine (Especially in cervical), you could get an assessment with a physical therapist. It is dangerous for therapist to work on your spine if there is cervical instability.
