neck pain in children

We have a 13 yr. old neighbor girl who comes to visit when our granddaughters are here. I couldn't help but notice that her neck was puffy. In between where the lines are in her neck, it is puffy. Does she have cancer or something or a thyroid problem?

The symptoms are the same in adults as in children - but keep in mind that not every adult has every symptom and neither does every child. I had it - and we all present pretty differently even though we are the same? Muscle fatigue means that exercise is pretty much a disaster - and the fatigue is overwhelming.

He does not understand the constant pain i live through day in day out and how it is a struggle to play sports with my children. I think i will take your advise a seek a second opinion.

In this case some people undergo a hyperthyroid stage in between and then become hypothyroid again. They can the develop swelling in any lobe of the thyroid gland called goiter. A thyroid scan can pick up such swellings and also radioactive iodine uptake scans can also be performed. Please do not poke the swelling too much. Yes, since you had respiratory infection and especially if your sinuses or throat was also involved, there is a chance that they are swollen lymph nodes.

I was in care for about a year with each. The back pain at that time felt like a constant pulled muscle in between my shoulder blade and spine, on the right side. Now, I have pain radiating from that area up to my head, causing debilitating headaches on an almost daily basis, some headaches lasting a week or longer. Prescription pain killers SOMETIMES help the pain, I have been put on migraine medicines, anti-depressants, muscle relaxers, nothing they give helps.

My mother had her gland removed, her mother the same. I am one of four children in ages from 59 to 37 years. Oldest is severely over weight and suffers of thyroid problems. next one is 55 and height to weight is normal, I am 6-4 and 275 lbs. Over weight by 30 to 40 lbs. 37 year old is skinny and full of energy, he is half brother. Each are treated for same. Mom's sister has same, her children have the problem. and her grand children show signs of same. Thanks for sharing.

In the right side of my neck I have a heavy sensation most of the time. It radiates around the right side of my head and at times causes excruciating pain and a numb like sensation in my right ear. My chiro adjusts my neck and mentions that there is heat and inflamation around the c-spine area, especially at the top where the atlas muscle is. His helper, does trigger point therapy on my neck and shoulders. This seems to help way more than the adjustments.

so i've been experiencing some rather odd pain in the front/right side of the neck... it rather feels like somone is pushing on my throat with extreme force from the outside... and i was just curious if anything could be causing this having to deal with my thyroid? the pain comes and goes, lasting up to 5 minutes at a time. it makes me a little bit light headed and is just really annoying. when it started i'd get the sudden pain maybe once a day...

About 9 months after the operation she was massaging her neck and felt a pain in the back of her neck. Since this time things have got worse for her. She had a crackling noise everytime she moves her head which can either be mild or quite bad depending on what she has been doing. She says it is particularly worse when she is looking up i.e hanging out the washing etc.

Unfortunately, over-the-counter pain killers are sometimes little help with the severe pain that can be produced by back and neck problems. Likewise, opioid pain pills don't always control back and neck pain very effectively and it's very tempting to take more than the prescribed dosage. But if you do that, you're taking your life in your hands because of the large amount of acetaminophen (Tylenol) contained in most opioid pain pills.

One day recently, I woke up with pain in my right arm muscle area between my shoulder and my elbow.This pain continued for some weeks. I was barely able to lift my arm. I use the computer a lot and thought perhaps it might be a strain from holding my arm in the position while working the mouse. Before going to sleep I prayed to the Lord to give me insight as to how to get rid of this horrible pain in my muscle and this is what came to me....

Tylenol.

I don't have any idea what it's about. As I said, I've had it all my life, so I don't think it's related to thyroid necessarily. I do have a lot of turtle necks that I've tugged at the neck enough to make them look more like cowl necks, though! There are times when I've thought that there's something about my body that tends to make shirts "pull up" at the front of the neck and down in the back???

) Weight gain, headaches that last sometimes 2 or 3 days, heel and foot pain mostly, some other muscle pain, I turn red on my ears, neck, chest, and arms with alcohol, I cannot remember anything, swollen lymph node(removed, came back benign), I am stressed and depressed because of all these symptoms mostly the fatigue. Have been to dermatologist, endocrinologist, back to gynecologist, a surgeon, and the Dr(not the same idiot Dr. I like him but sometimes his thought process is off.

About 1 week ago,on my upper left side teeth started to bother me. I found myself wanting to bite down to help with the pain, it started hurting my left ear, and now the pain has moved into my lower left row of teeth and kind of into my neck, like a strained feeling in my neck. Some day's I feel nothing for panin, and others it is pretty bad. I still have a wisdome tooth on that upper left side, that has grown in oddly forward.

What are her chances of becoming diabetic? Her doctor said hypoglycemia sometimes precedes diabetes in children. Is is possible to "grow out of" hypoglycemia? If so, what are the chances of this happening?

It has also been causing pain in my arms I think. It varies from left to right side. I have been to the ER and they prescribed muscle relaxers. I didn't want to take them because of possible side effects and opted to go for a massage. The massage helped a lot but I am still having some pain and my arms still hurt occasionally. It is scaring me because I don't know if it's my back or my heart. Please help!
