Pain in head , shoulder
Hello Doctor, I have recurrent neck/cervical pain. I previously had around 14 days of physiotherapy and took neurological medication for a few days, which helped temporarily, but the pain has returned. My pain usually starts in the back of my head and then moves to my neck and shoulder. Sometimes I feel pain/clicking sound when moving my neck. I also occasionally experience blurred vision along with headaches. I also have sinusitis and a nasal polyp. Could these contribute to my symptoms? Considering all these symptoms, should I consult a neurologist, orthopedic doctor, or ENT specialist first? Do I need any examination or imaging?
Spinocerebellar Ataxia
My mom has SCA (Spinocerebellar Ataxia). She sometimes doesn't realise that she needs to get fresh or has pressure to get fresh and dirty the clothes in that case. Can some medicines be given to avoid this? On the contrary sometimes she gets feeling that she has to pass stool 3-4 times a day while she doesn't get fresh
Strange 1 side zap pain

The pain was quite intense during the first two days, and since then it has changed into a radiating, throbbing, or “zap-like” pain that comes and goes. Two days ago, I woke up around 5:00 AM because of neck pain along with pain in that area of my head. However, I was able to go back to sleep later without any issues. Unfortunately, I searched Google and read that headaches that wake you up from sleep can be a sign of a brain tumor, which has made me extremely anxious. This morning, I also experienced some dizziness, although I’m not sure whether it was due to stress and fear or something else. The throbbing/zap-like pain continues to come and go. I have tried taking a vitamin B12 tablet and a painkiller, but I haven’t noticed much relief. Attached picture I have a history of health anxiety (hypochondria), so this has significantly
