i would run to dr and make sure it isn't shingles. holy cow they hurt soooo bad so get treatment right away the sdooner the better the out come with those hateful blisters.
also have you had your vitamin d checked lately? being on meds for chronic pain there is a good article by mayo clinic about low vitamin e levels and pain meds you can google if you like to read it.
i was so sore i couldn't hardly get out of bed after sleeping all night. weird. but my d was incredibly low and i feel better.
then i had to work on the menopause thing. yuck! but i got on a little hormones and cut my sugar and carbs and this has helped that. i also have atn facial pain and a disc issue in my neck (haven't dealt with neck) it is a lot like you. but try to deal with worse symptoms first and please get your vitamin d level checked. any dr can run simple blood test and check your levels.
blessing for pain free days for you

Your description is lacking some detail. Is the pain on one side of the body? If that is the case, I would run to a doctor and make them give you anti viral drugs for shingles "just in case". As mentioned by jady, get treatment right away the sooner the better. The doctor may not be able to tell you that it is shingles. We don't know your age, but the older you are the greater the chance of getting shingles and also the greater the chance that the shingles will do lasting harm to your nerves. You have a right to be insecure. Go quickly to a doctor. I see with all the groups that you belong to, you must have a doctor.

Yes, they are able to give you a medication to counteract the herpes zoster virus (shingles) but only within a few days so you need to catch it quick.
