Pain behind left eye and pain in back of neck

[Guest guest]

How about a bad tooth, which could refer pain to the eye socket..... the

lymph nodes in the back of the neck ( occipital / cranial) would be inflamed

from the infection, and tender as well. The pain would not necessarily be

directly from the tooth, but could be a subtle infection. Lisa

The pain is on and off throughout the day, and usually stems from the

back of his neck. He describes the pain as being blah, or flat, not

sharp or anthing, just there! I'm writing for any thoughts here as to

he,(My husband) has jsut been to the dr. last week and they found

nothing wrong. Just prescibed him some anti-biotics in case of it being

allergy related or a sinus infection.

It has been bothering him for about 4 months, on and off. and was just

wandering if anyone else has experienced this? He's thinkng maybe a

pinched nerve in neck, and maybe it's leading to his eye???

Thanks, any thoughts would help.

Lisa, sometimes when sleeping 'wrong' on a pillow, that is, straining

the neck, it puts a 'crick' in the muscles & /or pinches a nerve. It

really can't be readily detected, only felt as you described. There

are some gentle neck exercises that can be tried...such as,

gently/slowly turning head from side to side, then chin down to

chest, and back as far as it will go without forcing. Follow that

with gently allowing the head to roll in a circle, several times to

the left and right. There may be clicking/crunching noises, these

will go away after the exercise is done several days. It's the

loosening up of the deposits normally found there. I have done this

many times and gotten relief from headaches and neck aches.

 

Some relief might be gotten from a Chiropractor if the neck rolls

don't help. (Been there, done that, too.)

 

As for the eye pain, it could be related. But I would not wait too

long to have that checked by an Ophthalmologist. They can look deep

inside to make certain that there isn't something that needs taken

care of.

Good health, Janet

If your husband lies flat on his back with his head and neck in your hands

you should be able to squeeze his neck from base to skull and have him see

if this pressure gets the " eye feeling " and if so a visit to a

chiropractor - especially one who uses kinesiology of some sort,

diagnostically, would be a great help - even a physiotherapist should be

able to tell where the pain is originating and help ease the muscles there

around the neck and base of the skull.

Does he have any teeth that he has had root canals on?

 

It is not uncommon to have the kind of pain you describe caused by a root

canal that has become infected.

 

Since the nerve of the root canaled tooth is gone the pain from its being

infected can show up in the places you describe.

 

This is exactly what happened to me, anyway.

I was referring to treatment until the dental visit which in my world

never happens overnight no matter how badly one feels!
