Hi,

Hope every one is well!!

I need some advice so I thought this forum will be a good start.

For about a year now I get really bad neck pains which goes to my head and then triggers a tention headache..my whole neck aches,I have to lie down or keeps changing positions til I feel comfortable again. It doesn't just happen while awake it happens at night to when I'm sleeping.The night times can be quite bad and tiring,iI literally have to turn every 30mins because i start getting a deep sharp aching feeling In my neck,tthe V-pillow doesn't work and I use 2 pillows which are low.

I went to the doctors and they sent me for an X-Ray which came back normal,I don't understand why I get so much pain..please can someone advice me!

I have osteoarthritis on my pelvic bone so I kinder know how it feels like to have pain........

Look forward to your replies.

Well maybe you should ask for an mri then , because the xray didn't seem to help . Sounds like a disc problem in your neck and since disc aren't bones they probably don't show a possible herniation . Sounds like something is pressing on a nerve in your spine .I will say what I tell everyone . You have to be pushy with doctors because if you don't a lot of them send you home with out any help .

Hi,

Thank you so much for replying.

I've just Google herniation and the symptoms are alot like what I've been feeling. I do get alot of pins and needles in my arms but I thought that was just bad circulation...

I will definitely go back to the doctors and have a word because it's not getting any better...

Thank you once again!
