Title: Pain in the neck
Post by Tim_Brown on Nov 19^th, 2003, 8:18pm

HI to all you fellow CH sufferers. I'm new to the forum, however not so new to CH. I've been suffering from the damn things for over 10 years now, and I'm currently in a cycle. I've noticed that for a week or so before I start a cycle I start to develop more severe neck pain. I say more severe because I cronically suffer daily neck pain which sometimes leads to headaches. ie a sharp pain near the surface on the right side of my head. Advil takes the edge off normally but when I'm in a cycle it's pretty much constant. I guess my question is, is this a common associative pain with CH, or is it just me? I've thought about getting an MRI of my neck but don't want to go through the expence if this is a common symptom of CH. Any feedback would be appreciated. [smiley=huh.gif] [smiley=huh.gif]

Yep, have horrible neck and shoulder pain, but mainly neck. Last the whole cycle pretty much.

Me too. Stiff and soar. Lots of popping and crunching during a CH too. When I am having a CH, or even shadow, sometimes my neck will pop when I turn it even a couple inches to the side. And after an abortive, the crunching, and most of the pain is gone along with the headache.
