today, i woke up with pain on the back of my neck and at first it was bad but then i felt better. right now i’m in bed, extremely scared because it could be als, i don’t want to pass away!! nobody in my family has had it, but still, als cases are random. i’m mexican and amab, i’m seriously scared. i’m 20 years old and stephen hawking was diagnosed at 21, am i going to get it?? maybe the neck pain is the first symptom…
Waking up with random neck pain is just a thing that happens sometimes. It also will happen more often as you get older. I wouldn’t be worried unless it was a very consistent thing.
