Question

I have extreamly bad pressure where my head meets my spine on that little bone and it hurts worse with movement. What do I do?

Answer 1

Varies: There are a number of structures in the posterior neck that can potentially cause pain including the facet joints, ligaments, muscles, and bursa in the area. A detailed exam and appropriate studies will likely determine the cause, don't hesitate to be seen.

Answer 2

Unlikely: With a large proportion of s. Pneumonii (most common bacteria causing middle ear infection) becoming resistant to penicillin, the mainstay of antibiotics treatment for "ear infection" is currently a high dose of amoxicillin.

Answer 3

You have sciatica.: Sorry you are suffering from this...There are several common causes of sciatica including irritation of the spinal nerves from a herniated disk. If your pain does not get better, if numbness affects the crotch, or if you have bowel or bladder difficulty then you need a surgical evaluation, otherwise your primary care provider can take care of getting the sciatica to cool down.

Answer 4

Sounds like sciatica: Back pain that radiates into the leg passing through the buttock is a common sciatic pattern especially if the leg pain is worse or equal to the back pain suggesting a disc herniation is the culprit.

Answer 5

Check-up: How high is fever? What colors is drainage from nose? There could be many causes. Illness in children is most likely a virus and symptomatic control is usually all that is needed. I would advise you to a make an appointment with his pediatrician if you are concerned.

Answer 6

Observe: Clear runny nose with a fever usually means viral infection.Treat fever and runny nose. If runny nose persist beyond 7-10 days with persistent fever, your child will need to be seen for possible bacterial infection - sinus, ear, throat , overlapping pneumonia etc.Prompt medical treatment, if at any time his condition has worsened!

Answer 7

Phlebitis & others: Pain and inflammation of the leg veins is called phlebitis. When this occurs it can be painful to the touch. The worrisome condition for which you need to get checked is a blood clot (deep venous thrombosis, dvt). This can be checked with a duplex ultrasound of your leg veins to make sure there is flow that is not blocked by a clot in your vein. There are many reasons for swelling so get checked!

Answer 8

Have it evaluated.: Some causes of swelling can include systemic problems such as hypertension, and problems with the kidneys and localized issues such as varicose veins, arthritis, infection, lymphatic obstruction, blood clots, trauma (fracture, sprain, and tendonitis) and side effects to medication. Have it evaluated by a professional and get the appropriate treatment.

Answer 9

See an eye doctor: Swelling and pain around the eye may be caused by an infection. If left untreated, it can potentially get into the eye socket and even the brain. Your aunt should be evaluated by an eye doctor immediately.
