Neck pain and accompanied problems

2017-10-02 12:28:11
I'm 42 years old woman. I have been experiencing severe neck pain which accompanied by shoulder pain and numbness, headaches - just behind the ear and fever, tiredness, unable to sleep and loss of balance sometimes. Can you help me as to what I may be suffering and which specialist should I consult. I'm also suffering from hypothyroidism for the past 4 years. I have not yet got an xray for my neck

Your complaints are seeming to be severe case of Cervical spondylitis, yet the final diagnosis can not be made on history alone. Thorough clinical check and investigation are needed.. you are also getting headaches which could be of Cervical origin. In such case the physiotherapy will help address all of the above.
Next Steps
1. get the Cervical x-ray {AP view and LATERAL view} and see your physiotherapist at the earliest for your thorough clinical evaluation. 2. when was the last time you met your endocrinologist? if it's been more than 3 months, it's about time you repeat the thyroid profile test and consult your endocrinologist to get the dosages of your meds modulated.
Health Tips
1.please refrain from going to masseurs, bone setter and aryuvedic massage parlours before you get itself thoroughly checked and treated.
