bizbiz Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I know that sounds stupid, but it is the best way for me to describe the pain in my neck.I have read what others have written about coat hanger pain, and it does not feel like that - it doesnt feel muscular in any way. It feels like a headache in my neck, but deep inside, almost like it would be in my spine somewhere. But then it also spreads up to the back left side of my head - like a little ball of pressure is sitting there. Almost as if if I had a disc bulge or something, and also with a feeling of pressure, but I had a cervical MRI done a few years back and also a plain cervical x ray a few months ago and both came back all clear. Neuro checked brain MRI and said fine.This is the same neck ache that I had a year ago when I first got really sick, then it gradually got better as I did, but now it is back and I feel terrible again - weak, tachy, no appetite but very thirsty, tingling face and I feel like I am followed around by this horrible "anxious / something bad is going to happen any minute" feeling - yuk!I have been taking Dihydergot the last 3 or 4 weeks (a vasoconstrictor) and I am wondering if this could be what is causing this? Even though this med is supposed to help?Just wondering if anyone experiences anything similar or knows what it may be?I also just wanted to add that it feels a lot like when I had a sinus infection a few months ago - when I walk every step I take just pounds through my neck and head, and I have itchy eyes and burning up my nose - almost like a cold is brewing but nothing ever eventuates and my nose is not runny etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pat57 Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 It sounds like the discomfort I get after I watch TV or read in bed. Its from poor posture- for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
potsgirl Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Yes, I get the same kind of pain and I'm waiting to do a CT scan to see if there's something going on - can't do an MRI due to my pacer. My pain is right at the base of my skull, and down into my upper neck. The pain gets so severe that sometimes I have to take a pain killer (prescription) to get rid of it. It's frustrating, isn't it? Hope you figure out the best way to deal with it. If you do, let me know!Jana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
