Avatar f tn How many months post op are you? i'm six months and I'm still having pain in the neck. My recommendation use ice and heating packs as much as possible.
Avatar f tn I have been having some bad pain in the right side of my neck. I have always had some neck problems but it hasn't been this bad in awhile. On top of it all my right shoulder is hurting and so is my right arm. My arm muscle is so sore and feels so heavy and tight and I haven't done a whole lot. I have taken Tylenol and tried biofreeze but nothing is working. Has anyone else had this happen? I'm 9 weeks right now.
Avatar f tn E, and apparently it is muscle related. So I am on pain killers and heat packs, do seem a bit better, will keep an eye. Ang.
1903798 tn?1333905288 I have a nice pillow that I bought at JC Penney. It has little bean's in the inside. So when you lay your head down on them they form to your head. Also I recommend a warm heating be liner. All stores carry these. They are fixed under yu blanket so your heat doesn''t exscape like a heating blanket is. I also like my neck ring I wear this when I'. sitting in my head it is something a little softer for the head.
Avatar f tn I've had this problem for more than an year now. I was once studying at night and fell asleep on my study table. Woke up early in the morning and found my pain and back aching. Didn't seem much of a problem at that time. However the pain increased by afternoon. I didn't consider it any major thing and turned my head a bit sideways. It helped. Sort of. Momentarily. The pain became persistent and I again turned my head. This sort of became a habit and I've still been doing it!
Avatar m tn You can try a pain relieving gel and heat regularly. Ibuprofen gel and a hot water bottle are my friends! Also try not to chew too much, have a mainly soft diet for a few days.
Avatar f tn I have had it for over a week and I have been taking pain killers and muscle relaxers I also put heat on it often. I am so upset about missing so much work.
Avatar f tn s causing the pain. I take Curcumin for the pain and use cold on my spine and hot packs on my muscles. I am always in pain and going to three Chiropractors has not fixed the problem. I think it's time to visit a doctor. What kind of doctor do i look for and will xrays show what is wrong?
1380526 tn?1292839385 Anyone have any new ideas that will help for the head and neck pain we go through? I have tried vicodin, gabapentin, nortryptyline (sp), and a myriad of over the counter stuff, like Alleve, Tylenol, etc. I'm just not getting much relief at all!!!! Thanks!
Avatar f tn hi a few years ago when I was working as a bouncer i was bottled from behind and then the guy who attacked me got me in a front headlock(back of my head was on his chest) and he wrenched my neck since then I've had issues with the back of my neck when it goes I get a pressure at the front of my neck just below my Adams Apple like someone is pressing on it which causes a sickly feeling/lump feeling so I be concerned about this or not
Avatar n tn Without medication pain level is above 10, after medication pain level is 9. My pain is so severe that it appears to lock the turning of my neck to the right. I am asking for any help regarding if there is exercises for this type of problem. My mornings after waking are the worse for me. I have been sleeping with 2 pillows under my legs, flat on my back, and 1 pillow under my head but this doesn't seem to be helping either. Is there any help for me?
Avatar f tn s way worse!!! Every time I move my neck it hurts. When I turn it to the side, Its a pretty sharp pain about an 8 out of ten that shoots all the way from the top to bottom. Letting my head lay straight down doesn't really hurt. Turning it in any way or putting it back hurts. Sleeping hurts. And I never rallied how much Swoosh my head to move my bangs until recently, when it started to hurt. I am so tired of this.
Avatar f tn I keep getting knots in my neck and shoulders and both my neck and shoulders ache on an off, any reason as to why this keep s happening?
1475344 tn?1287160429 I fell on my neck while trying to do a handstand and my neck clicked and ever since its been clicking and it hurts to tilt my head back and towards the evening it hurts to turn it left and right or if im leaning back on a surface it starts to hurt i went to the doctor andd he gave me ibuprofen and it does not seem to work i told him this but he told me its not a big deal but is it?
Avatar m tn Hi, I have a neck problem too. I have neck pain just by sitting and tingling and numbness in my right arm. Anyways, I found this book on how to treat your back and neck by Robin McKenzie. It gives you exercises you can do. I started doing them my condition improved a lot. I still have problems but getting better. You should give it a try.
Avatar n tn I have been suffering from constant head/neck pain for over 10 years. The pain begins behind the ear, right side above the base of the skull. It radiates down the spine below the shoulder blades. I have had the following treatments: cervical spine fusion c5/c6 due to rupture disk, botox injections to the head, neurostimulater implant 4 yrs then removed, steroid injections, and taken huge quantities of narcotic pain relievers.
Avatar f tn My occipital nodes are also swollen and have been for weeks along with pretty severe neck pain at the base of my skull. My primary ordered blood work to check for infection as the cause of the swollen lymph nodes, but nothing showed up. Tonight it's so bad that I can't sleep (it's 4:40am). I just don't know what else to do and I think my drs are getting sick of hearing from me all the time. I'm in misery! Completely not able to function and haven't been for a month.
1794411 tn?1321495731 I have a bed buddy for my neck and the heat seems to help, but there are times where the pain just feels like I need the ice pack...I have the pain in the back of my neck from a bulging disc in C6-C7, plus a lot of the headaches are always at the base of my neck. So I am just wondering what others find to work better. Thanks!
Avatar n tn Make an appointment to see your doctor. The doctor will be able to examine your neck movements, send you for imaging to be done by x-ray or other to find out if there is any underlying cause. Have you been involved in any accident where your neck was jarred abruptly? Having wrong posture doing keyboard work and also getting caught in a draught, like a window open in the car, can also cause neck problems. See the doctor to find out the cause so that you can get the appropriate treatment.
Avatar m tn Hi have you had your cervical spine checked out. I have severe left sided pain al over my body but the doctor found nerve issues in my neck- which can explain pain in the head as well as the shoulder arm and finger. Im having a series of epidural injections to see if that can help. Do you have any pain in your arm or fingers? Or just your head and back? Feel good!
Avatar n tn ve been applying ice now to my neck instead of heat which seems to be helping the neck issue. Thanks for your help!
Avatar n tn The neck exercises should be done as it will help, but always use heat b4 and after the exercises to help relax the muscles.... And most of us r affected by the weather, but right now what he is feeling is from surgery, and it will lessen in time or should....so keep moving the neck and use heat b4 and after.....if it feels like it spasms, ask about valium but only when it is really bad and nothing else helps.
Avatar f tn I have Aussie Lyme and I have not had neck problems. I have heard of others, though, and it is on my doc's symptom checklist that I fill out for every appointment. Neck problems can be either the connective tissue (Lyme loves connective tissue) in the neck or it can be skeletal. The woman who wrote "Cure Unknown" described her husbad's Lyme neck as sounding like a bowl of Rice Crispies ("Snap, crackle, pop") I would guess that heat is a good remedy.
Avatar f tn I am having acute pain behind my left shoulderblade.The pain extends up my neck and down my left arm.
1672915 tn?1335220598 I am 5 mnths post op and still have unbearable pain in my neck, left shoulder that sometimes go down my arm, low back and right hip pain. Last mnth I had Mri's done and my surgeon said they look good. I went and saw a pain Dr. and he put me on a muscle relaxer that's supposed to help but so far it hasn't. I am having more pain now then I did before surgery and I am becoming very depressed. I am worried that when I go back to the pain Dr.
Avatar f tn happens with me too...i used water spray bottle...and spray water continuously under my feet ,back side of neck....i have very high body temp...my mom whenever touched me said"honey,do you have fever???"if you find any solution..
1392168 tn?1280074408 The pain is mostly dull and towards the back of my neck, however sometimes I will get a more severe pain down on side. (Sometimes benig once a week, quite rarely.) Over the past few days I have been yawning frequently and sometimes when I yawn the lower front of my throat seems to seize (stiffen) up and hurts. I get scared and worried about swollowing. I have Hypothyroidism and have been known to have anxiety problems, too.
