pinched nerve symptoms

[Nikkii28]

Hey

So ive been told before (about 9 months ago) that the heat and pain in my head is caused by a pinched nerve in my neck. When the doc told me it was nothing serious, I got a lot better and the tension dissapeared.

Now Ive been worrying for a couple months about an ear infection and in the past few weeks the tension has returned in my neck and when i wake up i feel fine but i feel like i wait all day for my head/neck to hurt.

So any ideas of how to relax and stop worrying its so serious?, does this sound like a pinched nerve? i can go about daily tasks but the more i think about it the tenser i feel and my head hurts a bit :(

Sounds like anxiety tension to me. It's funny how a Doc can tell us is ok, and we are fine for a week or so, and then it returns. I carry my tension in like the chest area. Went for ekg, doc say it's not your heart I was good for a couple of weeks, then something comes up, the tension, and stress spikes, and bam its back that pain in my chest. It is taking me a long time to realize its stress, tension, and that I do create, but I am working on it. Doctor says you are good, odds are you are. I think it's tension/anxiety. Good luck, hope you feel better. Do you have a heating pad, they work awesome.:) Deb

Im really worried today about my head, I have a headache at some point during the day, not enough to stop me doing stuff but its really annoying and my neck really feels tight. when i wake up i feel fine but as the day progresses i get pains in one side of the other depending on how i twist my neck i guess. just a really crappy day :(
