Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Numbness And Tingling Sensation Behind The Neck?
I have a numbness, tingling feeling starting in the back of my neck and moving up the back of my head. I ve never had this kind of headache before. No fever, no swollen lymph nodes, and no body aching. I do have a toothache. Could a toothache be causing the discomfort? I have taken Advil and Excedrine at different times today, but the tingling and numbness is still present.

Hi, Thanks for the query. I understand your concern. If you do not have cervical spondylitis... such numbness & headache ... such pain can be due to infected.. swllen tooth causing pressure on local nerve in mandibular region... reffered to neck &back. Antibiotic &anti inflammatory course would relieve. Consult a dentist. Thanks.
