neck pain on the 3rd Week

I have been a smoker for roughly 10 years and is currently on my 20th day of quitting and with that comes a throbbing pain in my neck and a little bit on my shoulder which has been getting me worried for quite some time now.

Saw a lot of thr same scenario over a bunch of different websites but there wasn't seem to be any conclusion.

I hope to hear from anyone soon.

Thanks a lot

Can't add much more to Roisin's reply, if back of neck and shoulder blades, likely to be your lungs repairing but if worried, get checked out by your doctor :)
