Maria, I've had that symptom before, although it's always been associated with a general "neck going out" episode. On some of the worst ones, I would have lots of pain on swallowing or clearing my sinuses. I think that it's probably just muscle spasms or a yanked ligament. Just for the record, as my neck episodes got more frequents, I took the big step and got my herniated, degenerated c5/c6 preplaced with a Pro-disc C (last week). After you get your lumbar issues settled, you might want to get the neck going too.
