This is a long one.
4 July, I was leaving my job and giving my leaving speech. During the speech which was online, I took a massive pain in my head, at the back, base of my skull, right side. I really was in a lot of pain and thought I'd have to stop my speech. I kept going and the pain subsided. The next day, I was carrying a box and the pain started again. It lasted a few mins and then subsided.
I then went on holiday for four weeks and everything was fine. No pain.
We came back from holiday and started to pack our home as we were moving country. I felt a heaviness, ache, always in the same place, on and off. I continued with my gym sessions but the pain came and went. I then felt like my ear was blocked. I got my ear checked and it was clear. At the same time I was having my last check up before moving home. Bloods all came back fine. Doc said pain was probably muscular.
So here I am, back in my home country, still with this pain which isn't constant. I have been taking antiinflammatory tablets which calms it down. I have a tight and stiff neck and my ear still feels blocked.
Logically, I have looked at the sternocleidomastoid muscle and it looks highly likely this is the problem. Illogically, I'm think the worst, brain tumors and growths. It is really bringing me down. I don't know what to do.
Thanks if you have read this far.
