Hey, I man having sharp head pains just in one area on the left back off my head. Now i have been having adjustments to the back and neck the passed two weeks. But this pain didnt start until yesterday and it comes and goes and i get numbness to my face. Do you think to could be nerve issues from my adjustments or could it be something more and should i go to the hospital?
Hello! I read carefully your question. Regarding your concern I think it may be an occipital neuralgia. The numbness of your face may be caused by a hypersensitiveness of the trigeminal nerve in the brain. Cervical column arthritis can also cause this type of neuralgia by compressing the occipital nerve. I would recommend consulting with your GP, have a good neurological examination and a cervical column x-ray. A brain CT scan may be necessary to rule other causes like a brain tumor, which may cause similar symptoms. Hope to have been helpful! Best wishes!
