Hello,
I have studied your case and carotidynia is a difficult issue to treat. It is very frustrating for patient some time. I would recommend you to take Gabapin nT one night time to take care of this pain. If this is not showing any effect then it is better that you should plan for surgery. You need to see ENT specialist for this. As sometime it can be migraine due to vascular aneurysm. In that case surgeyr may be needed.
