Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I woke up this morning with a sharp pain on my neck on left side at base of my head about even with my ear. The spot is hard and extremely painful to the touch. Right above it is some sort of mole or sin tag that he been in my hairline for as long as I can remember.
I have studied your case. Due to compression of nerve root there can be pain in your neck and head.
I will advise you to do MRI cervical spine For these symptoms analgesic and neurotropic medication can be started. Till time, avoid lifting weights, Sit with support to back. You can consult physiotherapist for help. Physiotherapy like ultrasound and interferential therapy will give quick relief. I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
