I have it all the time!. Now, they think they've narrowed it down to TMJ syndrome which has to do with the joint where your jaw hinges to your skull!. When it is inflamed, it can cause ear pain, pain behind your eye and all the way down your neck!. My doctor says to take Advil (up to 800 mg which is 4 tablets) 2 to 3 times a day and to ice the area when it flares up!. You can go to specialists to get it treated as well but it's pretty expensive!. You might also want to ask your doctor about getting a mouth guard to wear at night!. People with TMJ are usually teeth grinders or teeth clenchers especially when they are asleep!. The mouth guard acts like a cushion between your teeth to keep them from grinding together and irritating the joint!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
have you been told that you grind your teeth!?!? I know a few ppl who have had really bad neck pains from grinding thier teeth at night, then they got a mouthgaurd and it really helped!. If you also get headaches, it could be an indicater that you do!. Also if its a sharp piercing type pain when you move, its probably a pinched nerve!. THis has happened to me a few times, but it eventually went away!. If its more of a dull ache then its probably muscle tention!. Do some stretches, and try gettin a deep tissue massage!. ahhh do they feel good! Also sleep on your back so your neck and backbone are aligned!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Honestly, it sounds like a stiff neck, possibly from whiplash or sleeping on it wrong!. Try switching your pillow, make sure you are drinking plenty of water and get lots of rest!. If this doesn't alleviate any of the pain and pressure, I would seek a second opinion with another doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
