Question 1

i have a cold.  my right lymph node is swollen.  it's gone down, but now both sides of my neck hurt. feels like a sore muscle.  is it related?

Accepted Answer

Lymph nodes: Do you have any other lymph nodes?  If so it could be the cold. Check for other lymph nodes. If the cold is getting better try Motrin or tylenol (acetaminophen)  and warm compresses for the sore muscles and this problem should resolve itself.  If you have persistent fevers or chills you may need an antibiotic.  See your doctor in that case. You should have a family doctor to do your check ups anyway at 30 yrs old.

Accepted Answer

Many Reasons: Your neck could be hurting for many reasons. See your doctor to find out. Your smoking, however, is by far the more serious problem, as it can lead to lung cancer, heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, laryngeal cancer, chronic pain, depression, and early death, as well as decreased quality of life. Please quit!!!!!!

Question 5

Accepted Answer

Exam: you must be examined and xrays of your neck should be taken.This can be either muscular strain/spasm or an arthritic condition of your cervical spine.Call your doctor for an examination.

Question 6

why dos the left side of my neck hurt when i yawn?

Accepted Answer

Evaluate Neck: If you are not improving have your doctor order a cervical spine mri.  Many times a herniated disc in the neck can cause pain especially if you have not improved with the medications and physical therapy.  If it is a herniated disc you may need evaluation from a spine specialist to determine what other options might be needed (injections, surgery, etc) to help reduce pain.

Question 7

the right side of my chest & neck hurt could it be anxiety?

Accepted Answer

Anxiety: Symptoms on one side, as you described, are unusual for anxiety. Consult your pcp for workup to be on safe side.

Question 8

my head killing me one side of my head my neck hurt when i try to move it from side to side?

Accepted Answer

Musculoskeletal: Sounds like you need to see a medical professional as it isn't getting better, the head/neck/shoulder pain and hand swelling all might be related and need to be evaluated.

Question 9

why does my artery on the right side of my neck hurt?

Accepted Answer

I don't think you: Can be sure that it is your artery, because it could be muscle, lymph node, or vein, or even pinched nerve.  Unless you had an injury, it could be something serious.  Please show it to a doctor for specific diagnosis and treatment.

Question 10

hit my head in a corner of a table it hurt so much just the left side were i hit when i try to turn my head on the left side my neck hurt i feel slow

Accepted Answer

ER: You need a visit to the ER to check your cervical spine and a neurological exam and possibly a CT scan to rule out a bleed on your brain. Stay calm and go to the ER or call 911. Good luck.
