I am 30 years old I have been suffering pain behind the neck. Last vertebra in the left side .the pain started in 2015 when I used to carry load. Or do any work. But after that. It was almost gone .but inn the last year it started again. When I stand for a long time I mean standing for 2 hours at one place my neck aches behind. The pain gives me feeling like swelling when I touch it it hurts and it feels like needles piercing in skin.
