Question 1

had chronic neck pain. now mainly in jaw left side. pulls tongue to side. aggravated. self massage not helping. laying down either. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

See dentist or M.D.: Sounds like you may have TMJ (temporomandibular joint syndrome). You can try taking some anti-inflammatory medications regularly for a few weeks, but it would also be a good idea to see your doctor or dentist for an exam.

Question 2

what could be wrong if i'm having neck pain only when laying down?

Accepted Answer

It means that it is : Something related to the actual structure of the spine and not a pain from something else or from an infection or tumor as those pains are usually not dependent on position.  So it is a possible disc or joint issue in the cervical spine that is aggravated by the position  you assume so it could be arthritic at your age as well.  Try some otc medication if no reasons not to use and a flat pillow.

Question 3

why does my back pop when i take a breath n laying down ? it does not hurt its more relieving because i get back n neck pain that comes n goes

Accepted Answer

Not Serious: The "pop" you feel is generally your joints moving over each other. Similar to cracking your knuckles, this movement can make an audible sound. As long as this is not painful it is unlikely to be of any clinical significance.

Question 4

severe shoulders, back, and neck pain which make sitting or laying down difficult for long periods of time. no known injuries. shoulders are the worst?

Accepted Answer

Go to doctor: you may need an evaluation by tour doctor. May have a cervical pinched nerve or pinched root. On the meanwhile take some NSAIDS IF NOT ALLERGIC. Take care.

Question 5

severe neck pain radiates down arm. 5 days now. much less pain when walking. most pain when sitting. little to no pain when laying on back.

Accepted Answer

Radicular pain: I think you need to see your pcp.  It sounds like a "pinched" nerve in your neck.  I would suggest physical therapy and the use of nsaids.  One could consider an mri, but it is very early.

Question 6

chronic neck pain and pressure head aches worse when laying down or apon waking up.waiting to see nurologist . what can it be?lupus, sjgren's, fibro?

Accepted Answer

See details: This is very unlikely to be lupus or sjogrens. Fm is possibly if you have the other diagnostic criteria.

Question 7

i have headaches, neck pain, and earaches. i also feel like i have fluid moving in my ears while laying down. also nausea.

Accepted Answer

See you physician: You could be getting ear infection and may need some careful examination and proper diagnosis and appropriate treatment so please contact your physician soon.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Go to Doctor : Going to the family doctor is not an expensive proposition. Especially when you consider urgent care center or the er,  you need to be seen by a physician. Please get to the local family clinic today.

Question 9

hiya, on ssturday morning i woke up with neck pain on the right side. it hurts through out the day, but hurts more when i lay down. ?

Accepted Answer

See below: The fact that you woke up with neck pain suggests it may be related to the position of your neck when you sleep. This may be causing muscle strain or a pinched nerve in the neck. Don't sleep with head elevated on too many pillows and try changing pillows or try a cervical pillow which are available online or in stores. OTC analgesics for pain. Soft cervical collar may help. See Dr if not improving

Question 10

good day. i am a 34 year old male with extreme neck pain in the left side where my shoulder and neck muscles meet i have numbness in my small fingers and neck spasm everyday at the moment i struggle i can't move my neck or even lay down due to pain?

Accepted Answer

Neck pain: Neck pain associated with radiation to left small finger is associated with a C8 problem. So likely some type of impingement associated with nerve being irritated at that vertebrae. Other possibilities include irritation to nerves of brachial plexus which come down your neck and irritation of nerve at shoulder.
