Thank you, I'm 56 yo female non smoker wt 130 non diabetic I very recently had 2 MRI's done on C -spine and brain. C spine 4 herniated disc with osteophyte complex sever from on al narrowing bilateral along with degenerative disc Desease and arthritis and cerical ridiculapathy and also they made mention of mastoid cell fluid bilaterally with also mention My thyroid gland was noted to be hypersomething and pressing against a vertebrae in the cervical area and report suggested so a gram followup on the thyroid.the pain is debillitating, the ringing in my ears is interfering with everything thought it might me the pain or pain meds so I stopped taking them no releif it is 24/7 my head hurts so bad It's like I'm bleeding from my ears and it radiates all down my spine. I get it I'm old but what is the mastoid fluid thing? That is where the head pain and the disc herniation pain begin. One travelers north and the other south thru my spine to my neck shoulders arms fingers are painfull. Muscle wasting in the right hand and on my back shoulder blades. What can they check for now? How can I get rid of the head pain any pain relief accupuncture almost sent me to the hospital.it aggrivated it. I know it's all a risk but darn near ready to try anything until my insurance decides what to do . It's been a couple of months.
