Pain In Nape With Left Or Right Movement Which Travels To Back Of Brain. History Of Having Bacterial Menigitis. Advice
THE BACK OF MY NECK HURTS WHEN I MOVE IT RIGHT OR LEFT, BUT NOT FORWARD, THERE IS PAIN THAT TRAVELS UP THE BACK OF MY BRAIN WHEN I DO THIS. MY DOCTOR HAD ME GO TO PHYSICAL THERAPY, IT DID NOT HELP, THIS WAS ABOUT 6 MONTHS AGO. I WORRY MORE ABOUT THE PAIN IN MY BRAIN, THEN THE NECK, BECAUSE I HAD BACTERIAL MENIGITIS A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO, AND ALMOST DIED. THERE IS NO PAIN WHEN I AM STILL, ONLY WITH SOME MOVEMENT. COULD IT BE ARTHRITIS? I AM 69, FEMALE, AND FEEL GOOD EXCEPT THE PAIN IN THE NECK AND BRAIN.

It seems that you are having Cervical Spondilitis giving typical pain while moving your neck side ti side.
Go for x-ray cervical region.
Afterwards go for regular physiotherapy.
Take some calcium, vitamin A and D supplementation.
Ok and take care.
