Llevo meses con tensión y dolor en la zona del cuello/hombros y los médicos me recetaron analgésicos y luego fisioterapia, como era de esperar. Sin embargo, nada de esto funcionó realmente, pero lo que SÍ funciona es el Omeprazol. Había tomado Omeprazol antes en el año por reflujo ácido silencioso (perdí la voz, muy ronca) y tuve la corazonada de que los dolores de cuello/hombros también se debían al reflujo ácido, así que dejé casi por completo los analgésicos y solo tomo Omeprazol y Gaviscon. Ninguno de los médicos parece reconocer mi teoría de que el reflujo ácido está haciendo que se tensen los músculos de mi garganta y luego esto se propaga al cuello y los hombros.
Publico esto para ver si alguien tiene esta experiencia o si algún profesional médico puede confirmar mi teoría y ayudarme de alguna manera.
Gracias
Hi, I think your theory makes a lot of sense. I have reflux and a lot of neck and shoulder tension/pressure especially when its particularly bad. Unfortunately the meds I've tried so far aren't helping my reflux (omeprazole and lansoprazole) but if they helped the reflux I'm convinced they'd help my aches and pains too! X
Gracias por tu respuesta. Lamento que no te funcionen - yo encuentro que Gaviscon (especialmente el líquido) también es bueno, pero supongo que ya lo has probado.
Thanks, yeah I seem to have tried everything at the moment. Gaviscon does help a bit (Gaviscon advance especially) but only very briefly. It seems once the damage is done from the reflux it tales quite a good amount of time without any flare ups for my throat to heal then the tension eases but it soon flares up again. I'm just waiting on an referral from my doctor at the moment to an ENT. I haven't yet had an endoscopy but it sounds like I might have something like LPR because the usual treatments are only giving a little bit of relief. I'm currently trying to do a food diary to see if there's something there I can do to help (bar the obvious things to cut out which I've already tried). Xx
Hi Jude, I am having the same exact symptoms of lest side neck/ shoulder pain and acid reflex for almost a year and I started treatment two months ago when my GP gave me Mobic, Physiotherapy and Omeprazole - 6 sessions of physio helped me a lot but lately I've been having severe stomach pain, vomiting and diahrea but no throat pain or voice loss. I'm giving myself another chance
i have been having severe neck ,shoulder pain and pressure in the ears. I’ve been on antibiotics and seen my ENT 3 times. ENT did a hearing test and pressure test and said that he didn’t see anything wrong. I’m supposed to have a CT on my ear Wednesday. I’ve also had this bitter taste in my mouth for a month and i have really bad sleep apnea. i didn’t know what this could be because i don’t have the normal heart burn symptoms. I took Omeprazole for the last 3 days and everything significantly improved. then the 4th day i didn’t take it and i woke up with the pain, pressure and taste once again. I’m convinced this is Gerd. i just never heard of it messing with neck, shoulders and ears until i researched it myself.
