headache and neck pain for a month. now have thumping in left ear and watery eyes. neck pain worsening. what could be wrong.

Accepted Answer

Not primarily eyes: this is clearly not a primary eye problem. There could be cervical muscle spasm relat d to cervical spine disc degeneration causing headaches and neck pain. The thumping in the ears along with watery eyes old be relat d to a lesion in the cavernous sinus.  This symptom complex requires a physician's evaluation.

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
