3. Musculoskeletal pain in the posterior neck area between the base of the skull and the shoulder.
4. Create a term that means “pain of the neck.”
There are two possible options: cervicalgia and cervicodynia. Either one is technically correct. There is no harm in asking a colleague which term should be used. As you converse with and listen to your fellow medical professionals, you will quickly learn the preferred terminology.
