| Neck and facial pain symptoms -help! |

Question:
I've been suffering from severe neck tightness that radiates up into my head.
At its worst it causes severe pulling on the left side of my nose, eye (gets
blurry) and jaw. Literally feels like I was smacked on the face with a bat.
My
face actually looks like it is being pulled to the side. This all started after
passing out(untreated lyme) and severly hitting my head and neck on both
sides.. I've tried every therapy imagationable, ie, chiro, accupunture,
osteopath, neurologist, of course lyme treatment, cranial sacral etc.
My
lastest visit to a physiologist believes that I have instability in my neck due
to loose muscles and ligaments and is causing the problem. I started physical
therapy and have had improvement but still dont feel that the real problem is
being addressed.
The physiciolgist cant explain why I have constant swelling
behind my eyes. My nose is always swollen and red on top (agrevated by
chewing) and even the right side of my pallete is painful and lower that the
left side. Do you think an otolaryngologist could help. I'm at the end of my
rope and this is the only thing that is keeping me from getting on with my
life(post lyme). Any suggestions?
Answer:
have experienced simular pain on my right side of my face, neck and head,
ears, jaw. I went to see an Ears, Nose, Throat Dr. and he but me on an
intinflammatory drug and muscle relaxers. This seems to take some of the
tension out of my neck and face.
Have you had a MRI? You really should to make sure nothing else in brewing in
your head. I don't mean to scare you but I had a brain tumor 4 years ago and
the symptoms were the same head, neck, face numbess.
The surgery helped somewhat but the Lyme Disease has settled in my scar tissues
and so I still feel pain and numbness.
