We have so many medically-savvy people here -- can anyone tell me whether it's possible to suddenly develop arthritis in a particular area overnight?
I woke up day before yesterday with pain in my upper back, just below the neck, and it's very distinctly joint pain rather than muscular. At first, I thought I'd just slept wrong (I hardly ever sleep right, actually), but two days later, the pain remains.
I don't have a fever or headache, so I'm not thinking spinal meningitis. Even if this is arthritis, I don't know what I could do about it anyway -- I guess I'm just curious! Any ideas?
