Smoking related Pain

2018-04-11 06:43:47
I smoke occasionally. whenever I smoke I have pain innone side of my ear and neck which extends to my arm sometimes.  when I don't smoke the pain doesn't occur. I visited a dentist recently and found that my wisdom tooth is inclined and not in line. could the pain be because of this? or is it something else? my lymph nodes also swell up when I smoke more than 2-3 cigarettes. What tests should I get done?

You seem to be suffering from cervical myofacial pain. Smoking can tighten these muscles causing more pain. Association of impacted wisdom teeth to neck pain can't be confirmed. Anyway you can get teeth removed as it's not useful for chewing
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
