What Causes Neck Pain And Headache While Treating Prostatitis?
Hi Dr. Rynne, Yesterday midday I started having neck pain on the back left side and it hasn t gone away. I didn t sleep on it wrong or do anything to cause my neck to hurt. Additionally I have had a slight headache and it hurts when I swallow (same side as neck pain). I have been taking an antibiotic for the past 10 days for prostatitis. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.

Hi,
In my opinion the neck pain and headache are not related to the use of antibiotics. The symptoms can be related to a pinched nerve. I recommend using anti-inflammatory medication for the pain such as Ibuprofen three times a day. Also use Voltaren gel for local application. Heat compresses can also be helpful.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
