I have the same problem of the first gu,but mine happened cause I was playing football and some guy hit me through the back,and I heard a pop on my neck,it's barely been like 3days,but when I'm standing straight and tilt my head back it hurts
I'm in so much pain every day, to sleep I have to sit in the bathtub, holding the shower head on my head spraying hot water on my head and kneck, i suffer chronic migraines every day of my life. Tilting my head backwards is the only way yo lessen this headache. I sleep every night in the bathtub full of hot water spraying a shower head on myself.
I find the heat helps lessen the pain, but it doesn't stop the pain, as soon as I stand up or straighten my head I am in ago and feels like my head I going to explode. I cry every single day, I left my job, my partner left me because she cannot see me like this. Watching or hearing my crying every day 9-10 times a day for a long time, I don't know what else to do, frankly if I had the bollox ir the means I would kill myself. I cannot cope anymore and the reply for the docs is , take some paracetomal. I'm sorry but I've been buying under the counter morphine and although i am out of my mind, the pain is still thier, it never stops I shake my head when it feels like it has gone, but I can feel it I can feel the headache at bay ready to start again please someone help me please I'm begging you I'm begging for help. Something must be be done. I haven't slept in a bed for 2 years, I sleep in a bathtub clutching the shower.
have the same prob just thought id google it and it seem there is no diagnostic..... i have seen an osteo as i had back problems a month or so after, she didnt fix it on either visit, back healed tho...... the pain hurts when i tilt my head back and more so the more i tilt my head back to the right, pain is in the same place had it about 15 months maybe more.... i knw this isnt serious cuz the time frame but its still annoying as hell..... lemme knw what u find..........im male, age 21.
I've experienced this pain for 2 1/2 months. It's the worst pain I've ever had. I can only sleep with sleeping pills. It takes everything I have to endure a day at work. I finally got an MRI and learned I have a herniated disc between C5 and C6. Like you, at times it's so unbearable that I now understand suicide. Please seek out a neurosurgeon for the correct help! Hang in there!
I am having a similar experience, please if you see this comment, tell me the diagnosis and prognosis
I've had this problem for the past 3 years. One morning, I woke up, and had a sharp pain in my neck, exactly where you described. At first it was any time I moved my head, now it's whenever I tilt my head back. I've been to numerous doctors and spinal centers, some are clueless, some suggested it's a form of arthritis. One doctor even said that it could have been as simple as a fan blowing air on me in my sleep, and I just slept at the wrong angle. None of the pills or medication they gave me helped in the slightest.
I'm also 26, was 23 when it happened, and it's been a constant struggle every single day, every single moment since then. I'm never not in pain. Like Sharbee said, at times it's so unbearable that I now understand suicide. I don't know how I'm going to live the rest of my life with this chronic pain.
