What Causes Muscle Tension With Pain In Neck And Face?
Hi. I ve been suffering with muscle tension for about 10 months in my back & shoulders, and around april time it began to aggravate my neck and head. Since this time i ve suffered on and off with lightheadedness, often accompanied with facial pain coming from my neck. Could someone please explain this to me? Is this normal? I find it very distressing. Thank you.
Hello, Indeed symptoms you suggest are of Cervico Brachial Neuralgia. Kindly go for an MRI of your cervical spine which might show a pathology in your Intervertebral discs. For most cases, Analgesics and Neck physiotherapy will do the trick.However , do not neglect this or it might lead to surgery. Meanwhile, you can use a Muscle relaxant like Thiocolchicoside 4mg + Aceclofencac 100mg once every night for a week until your appointment. Good Luck !
