Hi,
Noted the history of pain at the back of neck, swishing sound in ear which stops on pressing on carotid on the same side,
Advil and
glucosamine gives minimal relief for pain.
With the proper history we can be almost sure that there is a vascular problem wherein there may be
vascular malformation like
hemangioma, A-V malformation.
This can be diagnosed by the following ways:
Arteriography of the carotid.
Audiometry.
Examination by an ENT, Vascular Surgeon can help for clarifying the diagnosis and have a plan of management.
This may be done by embolization, direct surgery or son as would be decided by an experienced Surgeon dealing with such cases.
As for the pain in neck and weakness your Doctor on examination will know the exact cause and give proper management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, ENT and General Surgeon
