neck

Avatar f tn My latest bought (Just getting Over) originated from the below the jaw/neck. Radiated to ear, teeth, cheek, eye and forehead. At 1st I thought it was an ear infection. There are 3 nerves (TRI-geminal) in the face that will cause different pain in different locations. Typically only effects one side of the face. Treatment is difficult. Pain med. Anti-inflammatory. Soft foods, rest.

Avatar n tn Inside of my right tounge was sore , This morning i woke up my whole right side of my neck is sollowen and theres pain when i touch it on my neck where the glands and my jaw bone below my ear is sore . Help !?
Avatar n tn It hurts to turn my head to the right (keep in mind it is my left ear that hurts) and touching my ear causes near vomit inducing pain. There is a spot just below my ear that if I massage it, the pain subsides for a minute or two and then starts back up. Usually, if I can lay still and/or go to sleep the pain goes away and may not resurface for several days but always comes back. I went to an ear doctor but since it wasn't an actual infection he did not offer much help.
Avatar f tn When I had the attacks I had hard sneezing many many times in 1 attack, VERY itchy eyes, palate itching, and terrible inner ear itching, Right now, I am just dealing with a little pain on the side of my neck below the ear. Today, I am having ear pain and pain when swallowing in the right ear. If I touch the flap it hurts, No idea what is going on,. Eyes are itching also. Thank you for reading.
424634 tn?1277857528 I'm curious... This usually only happens when the weather is cold. I enjoy walks and hiking, but when it's cold or I'm pushing the hike, I get pains on either side of my neck just below my ears, almost where the glands are. It's kind of a burning feeling. I've gotten it for many years, and it goes away when I slow it down, or keep my neck covered and breath into my coat to keep the cold out. Has anyone else ever had anything similar?
504930 tn?1210512101 I have been reading about my symptoms and it sounds a lot like this, since the jaw and ear started hurting. (plugged feeling in the ear) Also right side neck pain for a few days a couple of weeks ago. (I just assumed I slept on it wrong or something).
Avatar f tn I have pain mostly just below the ear lobe and to the back of head in the soft spot there and my gland is bit sore,but not like usual cold type sor throat...Any ideas?Thanks This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/202598'>Swollen lymph nodes, for 9 months, ear pain, low grade fever, bone pain ...</a>.
Avatar f tn It is made worse by heat or stress iv noticed. The neck pain follows but not to the point it did. When the ear pain returns its an all day event. What could it be? A few months before this all started i did have a very bad sinus infection that was treated. Also iv noticed at random times my nose will suddenly run alot with no warning. Its not like a drippy nose its like somone running and always clear like water.
Avatar n tn ALSO, I HAVE INTERMITTENT NUMBNESS AND COLDNESS IN MY TOES AND FINGERS AS WELL AS CONSTANT NECK PAIN. AT ANY RATE, MY DOCTOR JUST TOLD ME I HAVE SEVERE CEREBELLAR TONSILAR HERNATION UP TO 18MM BELOW THE FORAMEN MAGNUM/ C1-C2 ARTICULATION. I LIVE IN THE BOSTON AREA/ CAPE COD MA AREA. CAN ANYONE POINT ME TO A SPECIALIST IN THIS CHIARI MALFORMATION?
Avatar n tn Almost every time I yawn I fell something like a muscle or bone poking on my neck just below my jaw. It pokes and then i have to manually push it back until i yawn again.
Avatar n tn I just had an abscessed tooth pulled -- my fourth in fact -- and I always felt pain in the area right below my ear when I had an abscessed tooth, whether on the top or bottom. I also had some pain in my neck (on the side) about that time and so I assume it was from an abscessed tooth as well.
Avatar f tn I have now gone threw the entire course of ear drops and still having the symptoms of swelling in the neck with a little pain as well as a tender left lymph node. They are now referring my to the ENT here in town. Someone please help me ease my mind. Could it be that the infection is deeper than what the ear drops can reach and the reason for the swelling in my neck on that side and the left lymph node tender and swollen?
Avatar n tn Hi, The most common cause of throbbing neck pain on one side is Carotidynia . Carotidynia is a common neck pain syndrome characterised by dull, throbbing, localized pain over the carotid artery bifurcation, but may radiate to the mandible (jaw), cheek, eye, or ear on one side .The causes are Carotid artery aneurysm ,Cranial arteritis , Infection , Carotid artery occlusion . Please go for an MRI or arteriography to rule out the condition .
Avatar m tn 2 days after my throat was dry and my neck became abit swollen. My side muscle (the muscle below the ear that feels like a tube, sternocleidomastoid muscle) became swollen. Its been like this for 3 weeks now. I went to see the doctor and everyone don't think it is HIV but I don't know.... I wish I could post a picture somehow which I have. I feel no pain. You just see the long tube lump on the side of my neck.
Avatar n tn I can also note swelling in the gland just below my left ear. The pain radiates down just below my left nostril into a tiny section of gum above one tooth. Saw an ENT, he used a camera to go down my throat,noted inflamation in the nostril but no growth or any such thing in my throat. He ordered a CT scan from the chin up and it came out negative for blockage, etc. (I've had plenty of sinus infections,and this is nothing like a sinus infection.
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 Three days later the neck pain improved, however the pain centered deep in inner ear and directly below ear in jaw line. Headaches continued so I was finally able to see NP with dr's office. She advised no ear infection and gave me a nose spray. She informed me I more than likely had a goiter which was no reason to refer and not to worry about it. Over the weekend, symptoms have not improved and neck pain beginning to return, nausea and a head pressure mainly in right ear.
Avatar n tn When you mention pain going to your ear, the other thing that comes to mind is that there are lymph nodes behind your ear, and lymph nodes get tender and swollen in the area of an infection. You don't say where exactly the lump is...is it anywhere behind your ear? Then IT could be a lymph node. It sounds like its an infection, either way, because of the way it responded to the antibiotics....most likely a sebaceous cyst.
Avatar n tn I start feeling this aching tightness in my outer ear, the neck right below my ear and the side of my face right in front of my ear. It starts out mild and gets bad really fast. If I touch my ear it hurts. If I accidentally bump my ear like if I am drying my hair or washing my face or neck and hit the ear when it is like this, I get this excruciating pain shoot right into my ear. It feels like a sharp object poked into my ear. It hurts so bad I can't cry or yell out.
Avatar f tn When I am not dosing myself with ibuprophen( I was taking percocet at night but hated the side effects ) I am acutely aware now of pain in the neck in a localized area; below my ear. The doctor ordered an M.R.I. which I a awaiting and thought it could be a disc irritating a nerve but I am very unsure of that because the pain in my neck feels deeper than that. I am tired and looking forward to any thoughts suggestions coments. I live on an island and cannot wait until the M.R.I. results.
Avatar f tn ) for four months in last spring. Now pain around the ear has returned. Sometimes the pain is below the ear or jaw angle, sometmes in or behind the ear canal. Sometimes it is in the upper temple area. On one day when I was working in our garden, I had headache in the temple, and it lasted for the whole day. I have never had migraine. I have read about exertional headache, could it be such? Nowadays the ear pain occurs most frequently early in the morning but can also occur during the daytime.
Avatar n tn s more obvious to me and combines with other symptoms. I have history of neck/back pain. Now I have a constant pain left side of neck, sense of pretty intense pressure at bottom of back of my head, clicking in neck when turning my head, ear pressure, and most recently intense shooting pain in my left arm around my elbow. Tobacco chewer so even more concerned. Thought?
Avatar m tn use a massage vibrator from behind the ear, to down under the jaw, working your way to where the clavicle meets the base of the neck next to the esophagus. If you are in a place where you cannot do that use your thumb and first finger to grab and massage the muscle from the jaw down to the front of the neck. Remember to search for a picture of this muscle on the internet to see what you are looking for.
Avatar m tn t tell if its in the brain or just below the skin. I have tried muscle relaxers, heat, ice, and rest. Sound doesn't seem to trigger it as much as movement. Should I be worried?
Avatar m tn I seem to only feel neck pain in the right side and only when laying down on my right side and only when swallowing. Have seen a ENT and was told throat looked fine. I am thinking it could be an artery.
