“I am gaining weight around the back of my neck. What could be the problem?”
I am suddenly gaining a lot of weight on the back of my neck and it's also hurting. What could be the problem? Can you suggest some stretches to tone this area?

That usually is a structural change of the cervical spine due to posture. I don't know how old you are but bad posture can put stress on the structures and soft tissue to protect the area from future damage.
I think you need to see your primary care physician for diagnosis first, and possibly some blood work.
This’s very unusual. You should see your primary care doctor for further evaluation
Check with your physician. You might need a referral to a thyroid specialist
You cannot selectively tone a certain area. Your body will shrink fat cells as you diet and exercise throughout your body. Most people see a reduction in fat cell/adipose cell size in the face first and then other body parts. Your increase in size on the back of the neck may be a sign of a dowager's hump. But you would need to be evaluated.
Please consult your PCP, I don’t think this is related your muscles. Thank You!
