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.

One more thing that I found that helped was the low dose of Xanax that I take for my panic/anxiety disorder. It was not given to me for the stiff neck but I found that after I took my regular dose that I take everyday that the neck stiffness would ease up. I guess you would say that I found this out by coincidence, but it works.
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 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.

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.

1114793 tn?1258730647 What was your husband doing at the time of the neck stiffness or before the neck stiffness? Is the neck stiffness bilateral or one-sided? Has your husband had an MRI of the cervical spine? Does your husband have pain radiating down one arm? These questions are important to address. After the more serious causes of neck stiffness have been ruled out, your husband may benefit from physical therapy/muscle stretching techniques.
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.

16431392 tn?1447875874 In the middle of my pregnancy, 6-7 months ago, I developed some kind of tightness, stiffness and achiness in my neck. It started on the left side. I attributed it to the pregnancy weight gain and wrote it off even though its constant and annoying. There is no visible difference in my neck just by looking. But I gave birth 3 months ago and I have felt very unwell since then.
Avatar n tn ve had whiplash and other types of neck injury issues. I was surprised by all the symtpoms caused by neck problems. Other than just the pain and stiffness I've also had headaches including jabs of pain, strange tingling sensations that went from head to my tailbone in waves, panic attacks, weak arms with numbness and distorted hearing. Who knew?

Avatar f tn I HAVE BEEN HAVING JOINT STIFFNESS ON AND OFF FOR 3 OR 4 YEARS. I THEN STARTED GETTING UNEXPLAINED FEVERS AND NAUSEA THAT ACTUALLY LEADS TO VOMITING AT TIMES. WHEN I WENT TO A RHEUMATOLOGIST SHE DID AN RA TEST, BUT CAME BACK NEGATIVE AND SO DID THE X-RAYS. THE STIFFNESS IS IN BOTH HANDS (FINGERS FROM MY HANDS TO KNUCKLES) MY TOES, MY NECK AND BACK. MY BACK ISN'T A SUPRISE SINCE I HAVE HAD 2 SURGERIES ON IT.
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 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 Evrytime I breathe my upper spine cracks and my neck is stiff all day can a neck x ray show upper spine problem spreads the stiffness to my neck and throat I have generalized anxiety disorder

666921 tn?1254990618 all I had was phone call abour MRI results. Yes I do get problems other than neck pain but do not know what pressure on nerves can cause other than pain!! Am I right in thinking that LYME can cause the arthritis? What causes the extremely stiff neck that some Lyme patients experience at on set. I presume it is muscle tension-I guess unrelenting tension in neck/shoulder area can start to impact on the skeleton by pulling etc; I haven't ruled out Lyme.
Avatar n tn Other treatments could be cervical orthosis such as a soft cervical collar or stiffer neck brace to restrict neck movement until some relief. In addition, cervical traction may also be suggested by the doctor, if condition is severe. Hope this helps.
