Question 1

can extremely heavy weight on head be a cause of neck pain?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Either acutely as a result of initial loading, or from prolonged loading and resultant degeneration.

Question 2

34 yo m w/ chronic neck pain/ headaches since 2000. i think that i hurt myself "head banging" at heavy metal concerts. neck "popped." thoughts?

Accepted Answer

I would recommend : Getting evaluated by a neurosurgeon. A good history, physical exam, and possibly some diagnostics may help you figure out what is going on and what you can do to improve your pain experience.

Question 3

my 19 year old son gets heavy head, headache and neck pain several hours after running. what can cause this? thank you.

Accepted Answer

Neck arthritis: There are several joints and intervertebral discs in the neck.  These can wear out over time leading to pain.  Degeneration of the joints or discs can cause neck pain and headaches.  While these are the most common causes be sure to see your physician to rule out more serious conditions.

Question 4

a heavy bottle of juice fell of my freezer and hit me on neck top is spine.i have a lot of head n neck pain is this normal?

Accepted Answer

May be muscle injury: This may have pulled muscles. Try ice applications on 20 minutes three to four times today and tomorrow

Question 5

base of head/neck pain fever chills sore throat feels like something heavy is in my head?

Accepted Answer

Doctor can examine: New throat pain can be from strep throat infection (antibiotics are needed), a cold or influenza (antibiotics usually not used), or from some other cause such as allergies. Usually, a person sees a doctor if the sore throat illness is bothersome (as in this case), coming with other symptoms (head and neck pain in this case) recurrent, or doesn't go away quickly (mainly to check for strep throat).

Question 6

i constantly cramp up in my back and right upper side of stomach just under ribcage.  i get it almost everywhere, hands, legs, feet.  it is very painful.  i also have bad back and neck pain.  feels like my head is to heavy?

Accepted Answer

Back pain : Please address your question one part at a time. There is a lot there to address. Please provide more details with each question. Onset, duration, fever, numbness, weakness.

Question 7

neck pain 1yr must hyperextend head till loud crack occurs to release pressure/pain in atlanto-occipital region. head heavy. crepitus/snapping sound/feeling w pain in cervical neck. poss craniocervical instability? mri-wnl, 3 diff docs, no ans! help?

Accepted Answer

: In view of an essentially negative workup, I suspect chronic tension in occipital muscles. The cracking sound crepitus is a nondiagnostic feature as far as pathology is concerned. If you think chronic stress or tension is at play, consider stress management therapy and relaxing techniques which I think will help relieve your symptoms.

Question 8

severe forehead headache, neck pain, ear pain , dizzy head very heavy is it a combination of sinus and tension headache? eyes heavy too.spin sensation

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: I'm sorry, but we can't diagnose you from online.  Please see a physician who can properly take your history, examine you, and treat you.  Please do this as soon as you can -- sinus infections can worsen if not addressed.  Be well.

Question 9

right side neck pain, ear pressure, heavy head, spot at base of skull sore. dr said c spine strain from x-ray.  been this way for 2 months.  any ideas?

Accepted Answer

Second opinion: With the symptoms that you have, and an answer that did not provide relief, you should obtain a second opinion, preferable from an ear, nose and throat specialist, as ear problems may produce these symptoms

Question 10

could extremely heavy or long hair be a cause of neck pain?

Accepted Answer

Long hair: More often than not long hair by itself will not cause neck pain.  It is usually due to poor positioning or degenerative changes.  We must include trauma and neck strain in there.  The long hair (weight) might aggravate another problem.
