A member asked:

Can a pulled neck muscle mimic sinus/ear/facial type pain? not constant but daily for a few weeks.

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Edwin Ishoo answered

Neck muscle: No, there is no connection. If you have facial pain and sinus pressure, please see your ENT for exam and possible treatment.
