I started a new job recently and I work on a computer a lot looking down a little and the pain has definitely been exacerbated by that position. I get the throat sensation and jaw and face and ear pain for no reason except that these little finger like things groaning in my neck. I hope they can figure out some more treatment options besides cutting ones throat or neck open. Good luck!
My symptoms started much the same way while i was working as a dental asst and looking down at patients all day. MDs suspected cervical spine at first because of that
