Hello everyone,

First, I've just got to say that this forum has been a Godsend to me over the past couple of years. I'm nearly *insane* with HA, and when I feel like I'm going completely mad -- usually after a session with Dr. Google -- I come here to search out similar maladies and get -- I hope -- some reassurance.

Now, to to current insanity :)

Last night, before I went to bed, I noticed a slight pain in my neck, on the right side, about where you feel that long muscle when you tense your neck (off to the right a bit from the Adam's Apple). This morning, the pain was a little stronger (probably a 2 on a 10 scale) and it felt like it covered a bit wider of a region. Also, my ear was very, very stuffy and I'd started to get some phlegm discharge at the back of my throat.

As the day's progressed, I *think* the pain is fading some, and I definitely feel like the ear is "opening up" some -- there's this airy sensation in my ear canal, though there's still a sense of blockage.

I'm hoping that this sounds like some sort of a sinus infection to you people? I just recovered from a pretty heavy cold last week -- my wife is still making her way through the same cold.

Once again, thanks for all the passive reassurance this forum has given me over the years.

Mike

My muscular aches always run alongside a sinus /ear type thing. I get ears that crackle,sometimes feel full and sinus's tender at times.

That sound's absolutely right. I just now noticed that if I turn my head from right to left with my jaw clenched, I hear a little "pop" when I get all the way turned. But if I do the same with my jaw open, no pop!

Of course, this isn't doing much good for my sore neck.

There should be a HA-FreakOut meter that tracks how many times a minute you refresh the page to see if you have any replies to your post. I think I'd be at the "Gone Nuclear" stage by now :)

Thanks.

:D me too
The complication with my muscle tension is though that if I move a certain way I go dizzy for a few seconds which is the worst part..
