How common is this and do these symptoms sound familiar?
Hi everyone, struggling with a diagnosis. What I do know is, I have military neck and a bone spur and some mild buldging disks in neck. I have what the radiologist says mild stenosis. With that being said, neurologist suggests PT. I did 3 rounds and need to go back but here are my symptoms:
Neck pain radiating into the occipital region creating at times debilitating head pain, neck pain and shoulder pain. Muscles are tight. dizziness, vertigo. I have had that for several years prior to the pain. I also have unpredictable vision which can have good days and bad. Multiple eye exams show normal aging vision changes, no optical nerve damage.
I get a sensation of the base of my brain being squooze. Cognition terrible, insomnia. Pain through the night waking me up. Headaches, I also have what I was told possible neuralgia spreading to teeth causing strange tooth aches. Full ears just to name a few. This really kicked in with pain and concern one year ago. Prior to that, I just lived with these strange symptoms and they were manageable. When it began severely back in July of last year, I went to the ER because I thought it was viral meningitis. ER said it was muscle strain. I am frustrated as is my MD and quite frankly, I don't think anyone is interested or cares at this point. As I type this, my neck hurts pretty bad and shoulders are extremely tight. I have been living on magnesium supplements. Over the counter stuff not working well and flexeril is not an option for me. Anyone else does this sound familiar?
