Pain In Base Of Skull Behind Ear, Occurs While Bending Head Forward. Any Ideas?
I have sharp pain at the base of my skull behind the right ear. It occurs when I bend my head forward only in one spot. I have been told it could be a pinched nerve or arthritis. It only least a few seconds If it ever does not stop in a matter of seconds, I could not stand the pain. What do you think could be causing this? YYYY@YYYY
HI Thank for asking to HCM This could be due to the congestion and the underplaying cause could be sinusitis, try taking steam inhalation, drink lot of Luke worm water, try Acetaminophen + Ibuprofen it will come around soon bye
Hi, as you describe it could be the arthritis, pressure on the nerve, or sinusitis. I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment.You may need to have an M.R.I. for diagnosis and treatment. Avoid having big pillow, and having weight on the head. Thank you.
