969163 tn?1281105479 In the last four months (maybe more) I have had back and neck pain. This is common for me, but usually ice and chiropractic appointments soothe it. My neck pain has turned into a soreness and stiffness. I can't bend my neck down very far and I have to try harder to keep my head up. Today, early in the morning. I woke up and suddenly cracked my neck, the pain eventually subsided.
Avatar m tn Hello. I've been having neck stiffness/feeling of tightness...on and off daily for the past month or so. This symptom accompanies my cloudy ear feeling and overall low energy. Maybe about a month and a half ago i started feeling this stiffness at times at work, I knew i was being overworked and stressed out. Once at work I was taken to the hospital because I felt like I was having an irregular heartbeat. Turns out they said I had slighly high blood pressure.
Avatar m tn Once I got the cortisone shot the rib cage pain and stiffness went away as well as the leg pain and stiffness. I still had the knee pain and pain and stiffness in both shoulder, to the point where I still have difficulty putting on a shirt.

Avatar n tn What he has had since then is neck stifness and pain that radiates into the shoulders. We have been told that it is not related to this demylination episode. We had seen several physiotherapists, osteopaths, neuropaths and he has also had ultrasound treatment with no improvement to his symptoms. He constantly stretches his neck to relieve this feeling and this is usually accompanied by a "snapping" sound from the stiff muscle.
487889 tn?1232887189 About three months after my onset I developed a very stiff neck. It was at the sides and back and felt just as you described it. It made me so hateful with everything and everyone around me. Very uncomforable. It has slowly gone away over a year and a half, but still if I bend my neck or get it into certain positions or even sometimes if I am stressed it shows up again, but not as severe as it was, and doesn't last as long.
16431392 tn?1447875874 My neck is still tight and achy but its on both sides now and I have also developed muscle pain/weakness, joint stiffness and pain and unsteadiness. My balance is off, I feel dizzy constantly. There is a pressure-like feeling in the base of my head and around my nose and forehead. I am shaky a lot. My vision is strange too and sometimes I have trouble concentrating and things seem surreal. I am getting really scared and anxious.
Avatar f tn The pins and needles in your shoulder area, sharp neck pain and pain radiating down your arms are all typical of Cervical radiculopathy and the neck pain and stiffness could be caused by any one of your effected levels. Increased leg reflexes, weakness in the arms and legs and Dysphagia are all symptoms of Cervical spinal stenosis. I’m curious as to why the Neurologist that did your EMG wasn’t able to pin down the origin of the nerve supplying the muscle that had abnormal activity.
Avatar m tn In the past month or more I have been experiencing a nagging stiffness and pain on the right side of my neck. It feels almost like a muscle cramp that will not disappear. Although it has been consistently present, its intensity varies, that is, sometimes it’s severe, other times it is barely noticeable.
Avatar f tn My primary referred me to a neurologist but I can't get in until July 19th. I've been experiencing neck stiffness, headache like pain, dizziness and weakness. It's quite concerning. My primary checked my insulin so unsure of the results at the moment and I don't see my new endo until the 30th to discuss insulin issues, if any. What could cause the head pain, neck pain, dizziness and weakness?
Avatar n tn i have constant stiffness in my neck and i sometimes get pressure in the back of my head. and sometimes when i dont move my head that much i feel like something not alowing me to move my neck. and i also get a clicking sound in the back of my head. ive noticed a lump on the back of my head not sure how it got there. can someone please tell me what may be causing this.
Avatar n tn I would think your neck nodes were swollen. Since you are sick, you may be lying in bed with more pillows and bending your neck wrong. It's just not unusual to have neck pain when you are sick, although a very stiff neck can be a sign of meningitis, so be sure you keep that in mind.
666921 tn?1254990618 It is always the worst when I wake up and when I go to bed. My shoulders, neck, and lower back get the worst of it, but I get it in my legs and even my ribs/torso, too.
Avatar f tn Aquatherapy with pain medications and low level laser therapy could be helpful in reducing your pain and getting you more mobile.
Avatar m tn i am an 18 year old male and in the summer of 2007 i noticed that i had stiffness in my back and neck and with the stiffness there was severe pain. i also noticed that my back and neck crack alot. i went to my doctor and got xrays done on my back and neck and he said he found nothing wrong. he did no other tests other than the x rays. over the last several months ive noticed pain and cracking in all of my joints, including fingers, toes, back , neck, ankles, wrists, hips , elbows and knees.
Avatar m tn Hello, I was wondering what the typical symptoms/ triggers would be for possible fibromyalgia. After lifting a water jug for the bubbler @ work I experienced a shooting pain in the left side of my neck. Since this event I have been experiencing constant spasm in my neck/trapezius for approx 7 months w/o any relief in symptoms. X-ray revealed nothing, and I have been through chiropractic and physical therapy with marginal relief at best ( ~ 24 hours.
Avatar m tn It would start hurting out of nowhere, sharp pain near top right of my head, tender to the touch and my neck started hurting. Started having daily migraines again so went to my chiropractor. She worked on my cervical spine and neck. The pain in head and neck went away. So did the daily migraines.
Avatar f tn There is no signs of swelling or anything like that but I have been experiencing neck stiffness and pain for the last week aswell. On top of that I have had sharp pains in my elbows and knee joints and was wondering if this could be down to having the cold or something more serious.
Avatar m tn Its been 6 days since I started and i feel the stiffness is gone however, the stiffness has been replaced by pain and it hurts when I touch the sides and back of my neck or my upper back, the physio says its normal but Im still concerned. Could someone please tell me if this normal ? I'm quite fit otherwise. The treatment the phsio has given me so far is : Laser, ultrasound, hot wax treatment and massage.
Avatar f tn ve been experiencing neck and back pain for more than a year now. it comes and goes away. At first i thought it was a stiff neck but the pain would last for months and the doctor gave me some meds which wasnt really helpful. Usually it starts out like a stiff neck and pain on my shouders then after a few days the stiffness goes away but everytime i turn my head to the left or raise my head upward i would feel pain along the right side of my spine.
Avatar m tn But I have no neck pain in the beginning (November,2011), but I am experiencing continuous headache and mild neck pain. The doctor prescribed medicines like Alprox 0.25 mg, Cap Engaba, Tab Ostflex OD for 10 days. During the period of usage of these medicines, I got some relief but the headache still remains. Then as per advise of Doctor, I underwent physiotherapy for 1 week and doing exercises for the neck. I underwent MRI scan for spain with the following result.
