The underlying source of the pain will determine the symptoms that are associated with it. In addition to experiencing discomfort in the neck, a patient may also have other symptoms, such as muscle stiffness, tingling, burning, lack of sensation, dull aching, and a restricted range of motion. It is not uncommon for a patient who has suffered an injury such as whiplash to experience symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), including trouble sleeping, anxiety, sadness, and irritability.
