i have long sufferd from bad pain where my head and neck meet up in back, like being stabbed in base of head and neck feels crushed and breaking, lately eyes are sunken and hurt too. could i have chiari malformation? or is this something less scarey than that that i can fix? pain kilers dont help at all
Hi, In my opinion that could be cervical disc herniation due to a Chiara malformations which is very rare, while cysts, ganglia, aging, over lifting heavy objects, vigorous movements are more common. For my patients I recommend x-rays, MRI for proper diagnosis and evaluation but for now some hot massages with topical muscle relaxants, physiotherapy and yoga and some bed rest will be fine.
