Hi there,
I've posted in the past regarding general aches and pains I have been having the past few months. For some reason, it seems to be mainly on the right side of my body- my right knee, back, shoulder- and currently the front of my neck is aching horribly. I'm a bit concerned, seeing as the pain is right along the carotid artery- My pulse is very strong along the front of my neck and collarbone, and it almost feels like a pulsating sensation and it is very painful.
I have had some blood work done and the only thing that came back was my C-Reactive Protein was slightly high...meaning inflammation in the body. I can see how this may cause some aches and pains, but I am wondering where this inflammation could be coming from? He ran minimal arthritis tests and those came back negative. CBC was fine, etc. His next step is allergy testing.
Has anyone else had a higher CRP count, or had this neck ache? I was hoping it was musculature, but it comes and goes every few days..
I appreciate any insight. My health anxiety is through the roof right now, mainly because I have been feeling so bad lately. Thank you.
