What if any is the connection, between the condition described as: Myofascial Main Syndrome and cervical spine disease e.g.: disc disease, stenosis (central canal, foraminal), other?

Is there a connection? For those patients that have been diagnosed with myofascial pain syndrome, or have found trigger points (i.e. painful, achey muscles in the neck and upper trunk) on their own, and have had these problems treated without relief, has the possibility that the pain generator is c-spine disease and not muscle overuse, etc. been considered?

It seems logical that disease/dysfunction in the c-spine especially over many years could contribute to or even be causative of MFPS, trigger points etc..

Any ideas?
