Accepted Answer

Translation: It suggests you have a dark side to your personality. Think Jeckel  &amp; Hyde. I suppose you would be aware of having a dark side, but maybe not. Further work would make it evident over time. Stick with it. I would not assume it is a terrible issue or one you could not conquer.

Question 10

what to do if i have these pains off an on, in the left side of my neck and the bottom of my left ear, one time i even hadthis mean i surely have an infection?

Accepted Answer

Muscles and Nerves: Typically either side of neck and head are provided sensation by nerves that supply them exiting out of the neck and head.  Muscles also lying in that area may be the issue as well.  If there is a history of neck pain that should be evaluated since there could be arthritis, nerve impingement or herniated disks involved.  See a pain/spine specialist to evaluate this.
