My husband suffered a shoulder injury playing football over the summer. Im pretty sure he tore a tendon & has a pinched nerve he has put off an Mri and now has a muscle spasm/ twitch above the ear same side as shoulder. Could this be related? I know the muscles above the ear have smaller than normal fibers and the nerve can get irritated causing a spasm but am concerned? He also wears glasses could it be something as aimple as needing eyes checked?
