Question 1

hi i have really bad pains in my lower neck to the right and it's hard to swallow or even talk right now. any sicknesses you can think of?

Accepted Answer

Possible abscess: If you have pain with difficulty swallowing, and change in voice need evaluation in er or by ENT to rule out abscess.  Seek care now.

Question 2

bloods ok/ ecg ok, still getting very bad pains in chest traveling into my neck and hurts when i breathe in and out?

Accepted Answer

Pain: There are musculoskeletal possibilities as well as intrathoracic possible causes. A doc needs to evaluate you to diagnose.

Question 3

i have been getting tingling in my foot for about 2 days now and now really bad pains in my right  arm and neck.. am i having a mild heart attack?

Accepted Answer

No: Your symptoms do not suggest a heart problem. The arm and neck pain sounds musculoskeletal, perhaps a pinched nerve in the neck. The foot problem could also be irritation of a nerve in teh leg. You would need an examination to pinpoint the problem.

Question 4

i have very bad neck pain for the past couple weeks when i wake up and throughout my day.  i thought maybe if i removed pillows and just slept without it .. it would solve my neck pains. but unfortunately it hasn't stopped and have had it all day long. ev

Accepted Answer

Neck pain at night: Neck pain of increased severity and lasting for several weeks is cause for concern. You should be evaluated ,perhaps a virtual consult would be a good start.

Question 5

bad neck pain a day later i started having dull on/off tension pains in back right of head. suffer from chronic migraines n the same spot. ?

Accepted Answer

Muscular contraction: migraine/headache are complex. May be due to stress, tension, anxiety, hormonal issues, neck arthritis or sleeping positions. You MUST be examined, evaluated, diagnosed and treated. I suggest using Aleve (naproxen) tablets if you are not allergic to this medication. I also recommend Bio-Freeze liniment for neck pain and muscular spasm, until you can be seen.

Question 6

bad headaches upn waking, sweating, pain behind eyes, neck pain, have eds type 3, but no tumour or bleed. have hd electric shock pains in limbs? why?

Accepted Answer

See your general doc: Not knowing your age, and in what order these problems began, it is not easy to tie them together into a syndrome or single disease or problem. Neck pain can be due to muscle spasm, which is reported to give rise to eye pain and headaches. This would not explain your leg pains. Something pressing on your spinal cord, such as an infection, or abscess could account for the whole picture.

Question 7

what to do if i have a really bad neck pain?

Accepted Answer

Some things to try: Use a heating pad. Place a towel behind your head or under chin and have someone pull gentle traction, change your pillow - try several until you find the one that's most comfortable for you.
Use nsaid's (ibuprofen/naproxen) at the first sign of pain before it gets really bad.

Question 8

any advice? i have got a real bad neck pain !?

Accepted Answer

Neck pain: There are many causes for neck pain that can involve whiplash, arthritis, nerve pain, pain from discs and pain from soft tissues or muscles- depends on quality and characteristics of your pain- you'll need a detailed evaluation.

Question 9

what to do if i have bad neck pain for over 2 weeks?

Accepted Answer

Lots of options: First, one should seek out a pm;r pain specialist (or maybe anesthesiologist with pain training) to fully evaluate the neck.

An MRI may end up being needed, but not after usually trying more conservative treatments such as nsaids, prednisone, and maybe pt.  Surgery is not usually needed or appropriate for axial neck pain.  Interventional pain injections into the appropriate structure can help.

Question 10

what do you suggest if i have bad neck pain most of the time?

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: Bad neck pain most of the time is a sign that something is wrong.  Xrays, exam and possible referral should be done.
