Flash of electric pain in my neck.

Today I was making cookies when I suddently felt a flash of electric pain in the back of my neck/head. It was so sudden and painfull that I almost dropped the cookies plate on the floor. Now my neck area still hurt especialy when I move it.

Is it a commun pain with CM?

I have had this experience a few times and it usually happens if I am holding something in my hands away from my body. I do not know the cause.

This has happened to me numerous times.  I don't know the exact reason behind it...I just assume that with my neck hurting all the time, it probably gets inflamed and messes with nerves.  

Please mention any new symptoms to your doctor.  If you are concerned or it keeps happening, don't wait for your appointment - give the office a call and tell the nurse.  That way if it is concerning to them, they will get you in quicker.
