Stiff neck and headaches

geocachelinda

I am 9 years out from my diagnosis of Stage 3C ILC. I have been having a stiff neck on the cancer side which radiates up into my skull and around to the front of my neck. I do have arthritis in my neck. I have had stiff necks before but this has been going on for over two weeks. One of my biggest anxieties is seeming like a hypochondriac. I haven't been to see my Dr. yet. I don't know if I should see my oncologist or my GP. Thoughts?

Conventional wisdom is if something continues the same for two weeks, see the doc. I'd vote for the GP first.

What MinusTwo said. General rule of thumb is to assume it's not cancer and go through the usual processes. That means Primary Care physician. I hope it turns out to be nothing. . .

Definitely get it checked. Keep us posted. Hoping you get relief.

Sounds like osteoarthritis of the neck. Or cervical spondylosis. GP first for sure.
