Don't worry I'm not going off on one of my regular topical rants.

It's not a metaphorical pain in the neck I'm being tormented by this morning but an actual physical pain .
It all started a couple of days ago, with severe muscular pain in my mid to lower back region. Yesterday it moved into my left shoulder which virtually rendered it inoperative and today I woke up in bed at around 6am with the complete left side of my neck semi locked, causing considerable pain and spasming when rotating my head to the right.

I've managed to drag myself out of bed keeping my head as immobile as possible . Strangely the pain in my back and shoulder has disappeared . This affliction seems to be migrating at quite a pace so hopefully by tomorrow it should have passed through the top of my head and dispersed into the ether, fingers crossed !

Have you ever experienced back pain that has moved or migrated to other areas of your body ?

I know nerves and muscles are all interconnected but the way this pain is travelling it must be on the intercity 125 mainline.

I wonder if it's some kind of terrible viral infection that on entering what remains of my brain will finish me off.
