Neck and Back of Head Pain

Has anyone ever dealt with this? I was diagnosed with PSA for about a year now and currently taking Skyrizzi. Just a few days ago my neck started to hurt with the pain going all the way up to back of my head. The pain in the back my head seems to be focused on the right side and it some times goes to the top of my head…any feed back would be greatly appreciated…

  1. Sounds like muscle strain. Additionally, have your doctor get some pictures of your neck, as it's fairly common for PsA to affect your cervical spine.

    1. , that sounds awfully uncomfortable. How is you neck feeling today? I haven't experienced this myself, but I hope you'll hear from others here who have. I was able to find a couple of forum discussions where community members discussed neck symptoms: https://psoriatic-arthritis.com/forums/severe-neck-pain-in-neck

      1. Thanks for the info. It was very helpful. I contacted my rheumatologist and waiting to hear back.

        1. I hope you hear back soon! If you're comfortable, please let us know when you hear back and what the rheumatologist says. -- Warmly, Christine (Team Member)
