Hi, I have been suffering with a pain in my (top, left side) when I tilt my head or neck. It can be very painful. I went to the doctors yesterday and he felt that it could be a trapped nerve in my neck plus he said I had sinusitis. He gave me confine for the pain but it is not touching the pain.
I can not get comfortable and lying down is so painful.
I even get the pain if I move the my eyebrows. My HA is in overdrive and I am worried and stressed, which is not helpful.
Has anyone had experience of this?
Thank you
I'm really sorry you've not had replies yet, pain is very hard to deal with especially in the face. What is 'confine' ?

Hi, I meant to say Codine. Thank you for your reply. The pain is on my head.
Were you just given something for the pain and not something to clear and relieve the sinuses ? I know that sinus pain can refer to some odd places on the head and face....when I was younger I once had it referred right to the top of my head (oddly) ! This sounds incredibly miserable for you, if your pain isn't being relieved I would say you should go back tomorrow to be honest.
The doctor is probably right about trapped nerve. I get migraines from TMJ irritating my neck and jaw. Try ice or heat around the back of your neck and a simple anti-inflammatory rather than codeine, which seen excessive. I usually take naproxen because it works well for pain and lasts 12 hours so I don't need to take so much.

Hi, thank you for the replies. I went back to the doctors today and they said I have neuralgia as well.
