Suggest Treatment For Headache And Pain In The Right Shoulder

default
Posted on Fri, 27 Oct 2017
Question: Hi, over the past couple of years I have had gradual pain on and off first rooting in between my right shoulder blade and spine and now it's ONLY at the base of my skull. My neck makes a light grinding noise when I turn it and I have so much tightness and headaches that stem from deep at the base of my skull that seem to only Improve if I stick to a strict posture. The headaches feel like tension headaches. I feel like I'm only treating symptoms and not getting to the problem, any idea what it could be? Neck mobility seems fine and the grinding causes no pain. It's mainly the tension and headaches that affect me, there isn't much pain at the base of my skull just so much tension that takes over my whole head into my eyes and forehead.

could be Cervico Occipito abnormality.

Detailed Answer:
Hi I am Dr Gopal Goel Orthopedic Surgeon.
Going through the details of your problem, To me it seems that you are probably suffering from Cervico Occipito abnormality which is causing grinding sensation and headache .
Assessment of this condition is done only by MRI and CT Scan of the region( cervico-occipital) which will show if any abnormality is there .
The treatment will depend on cause .
