Common Questions and Answers about Pain neck turn head

neck

Avatar n tn Woke up this morning with severe neck pain and cannot turn my head left or look up. There is swelling at the base of my neck. My left side is week and there is pain in my shoulder, elbow and hand on pinky side. Nsaids and Muscle relaxant no help, and one percocet no help. I have used heat all day and it has not improved. Could it be just tortocollis or is there a chance something is messed up below my fusion? I am so uncomfortable and scared that this could mean something is wrong.
Avatar f tn The problem is that now the pain is down in my neck and I can hardly turn my head from side to side. The pain feels almost like a burning pain in my neck and major stiffness. I don't see how sinus problems could last for this many months. Can sinus issues also make your neck hurt and be stiff? I don't know where to turn next. The neck pain and the ear noise is definitely getting on my nerves. Does anyone know what could be going on?
Avatar n tn I have alot of neck pain it also goes into the base of my head and across my shoulders. I had an xray & the report reads- slight reversal of normal lordotic curvature. Degenerative disk narrowing and end-plate osteophyte formation C4-C5, C5-C6.No obvious frature or subluxation. What does this mean. What options are there. I've done P.T. and Chro. not much help. My neck has continued to give me problems. I wake in night and in the am, I can not turn my head.
Avatar f tn Hi, Thank you for your question. Generally pain in the back portion of the head and neck pain originate from the neck problems due to irritation in the cervical (neck) spine since the nerves that supply the back of the head start in the upper cervical spine. Mostly, this kind of head pain aggravates after turning head and typically occurs in patients with previous neck injuries and in patients with marked arthritis of the upper cervical spine.
Avatar n tn i am now able to turn my head but everyday walking, sitting down, driving results in chronic neck pain. i am unable to keep my neck straight as the pain is too strong . this is most significant on my right side, with visible muscle spasms on the right. i cannot do tasks day to day without pain. had xrays and ct scans which show slight deteriotion in c5 and c6 disks. muscle relaxatants, steroid shots, physio, chiro, and osteo can't treat the problem.
Avatar f tn can not lift up my head only down intense spasm pain, can not turn left or right, aches when swallowing.
Avatar m tn I'm recently dx, April 2011. I've suffered on and off in the passed with neck pain, it hurts just to hold my head up. Does anyone else suffer from this? Is this even a symptom of ms? I feel like things I ignored in the past may have been symptoms that I didn't realize.

Avatar f tn For the past four days, I have experienced these odd symptoms that are becoming more and more unbearable. My upper neck has been hurting, but I have this odd burning pain when I turn my head or when I try to lift something even. Feels like a hot poker's being inserted there. But I also have this pain in the back of my head, on the right side, an area maybe an inch in diameter that's very tender, especially to touch. No headache, just a tenderness to touch, very sore.
Avatar n tn Hi! I've been getting increasingly dizzy when I turn my head to the side. I also get pain in my neck when I turn it, and can't turn it very far. It often feels sore, like the muscles in the back have just had a work out. It also feels stiff and like I need to crack it. It often cracks on its own when I move it. There is also some numbness I did used to crack my neck when I was younger. I do have some pressure in my ears, but the neck issues have been happening longer.
Avatar n tn Is feels like an ordinary stiff neck. I find it painful to turn my head up. Today, the pain has reduced and just felt numb when moving to the "wrong" direction. I will observe for a few days before i consult a doctor.
Avatar f tn ( involving my sinuses, especially on the right side of my head. Anyway, all day today my neck has been hurting! On the right side, it feels sort of lumpy inside. Like not to touch it, just the way it feels inside my neck. It's sort of like a sore throat on the outside of my throat! It's uncomfortable to turn my head, and if I sit up too long it starts to hurt too. I've got ice on it, which seems to make it a little better, and am resting my head on a pillow.
666921 tn?1254990618 I currently refer to my neck as "popcorn neck." It crackles when I move it, and while that could be Father Time marching on, the correlation between the loudness of my neck and illness makes me think it's more likely Lyme related. After I started treatment, I did notice a worsening in neck pain (which is now gone, it's more just stiff/loud now).

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 n tn My neck is the worst, Real tight sensation, that radiates up into the back of my head. It is uncomfortable to turn my head from side to side. My lower back and shoulders have been achy, which comes and goes. New symptoms are cramps in lower legs and achy calves. I do read alot and have my head down but this has never happened before and I have been reading all my life. I do spend several hours a day on the computer but don't feel that is it. I take something for anxiety, so that is not it.

Avatar n tn I started having mild neck pain in 2007 which was probably caused by lack of sleep due to loss of a close family member in July of 07, after which I had to work stressful 12 hours shifts which only increased the neck pain.
1187071 tn?1279369698 I am not sure what I did but when I got up this morning, I turned my head and got a really bad pain in my neck and it is sharp and it goes all the way up the back up my head, and it makes my head hurt. I have never had a pain like this before and with it being my neck and head it scares me. I don't know if I should wait it out and see if it goes away or get it check out. Any advice would be great.
9562964 tn?1416928231 I used to get this all the time so what I did was take a wash cloth and get it wet with warm water and put it on your neck. I would also keep moving my neck for a few minutes. I know you said that it cant turn your head. However with the warm cloth on your neck it will help you be able to move it a little bit after a while. Don't what ever you do don't try to move it a whole lot just a little at a time. After a while you will be able to move it again like before you got it.
Avatar f tn precipitation of head pain by neck movement or awkward neck positions, head pain when external pressure is applied to the neck or occipital region, restricted range of motion of the neck, and neck, shoulder and arm pain. Treatment for cervicogenic headache includes physical therapy, medications, behavioral therapy, and other modalities.

Avatar f tn I'm 35 weeks and for the past 3 or 4 days I couldn't turn my head because my neck hurts so darn bad. Tilting it side to side or twisting it, or pretty much just moving it in general hurts. I've tried massaging it, Tylenol and just resting but it doesn't seem to help any. Any ideas on how to get the pain stop? I'm afraid to drive at this point because I can't turn to look.
Avatar m tn I also have severe pain in my neck when I turn it to the side or up and down.I was assured that by now I would be pretty much pain free but here I am asking why I'm not!! I had an appointment in May and June,and in the doctors notes he stated if I didn't improve then he wanted to do an MRI and CT scan with contrast and a nerve velocity test.I would really appreciate another opinion of what is going on with me.I was injured on the job and haven't received the best medical treatment.
Avatar n tn started with severe neck pain that radiated to back of head on left side. Had therapy and made worse. Neck and back of head now hurts when I turn it right or left or up or down. Back of head hurts at base of scull all the way accross back of head with slightest movement. sometimes when pain is worse, the lower part of head(at base of scull) seems swolen all accross the back of head. The swollen area hurts slightly when pressed on. Has been going on several months.
Avatar f tn When it was bad I would feel a bolt of pain shoot through my neck when I bent my head foward or to far to either side. It almost felt like a bad case of whiplash! Thankfully, this symptom has eased off and I hope is gone for good. I am not dx with MS yet, for now my neuro says my dx is ADEM. Hope this helps some!
Avatar m tn Hi, I just wondered what could potentially cause my issue. Whenever I turn my head/neck majority of its range, I get a sharp pain around my right ear. Its sometimes hard to distinguish where the pain is. But it has been bothering me for the past 2 days, I just wondered what could be wrong.
