Nausea, Facial Pain, Ear Pain. Had Cervical Fusions, Taken Steroid Injections. Remedy?
I have had three cervical fusion ops.am fused anteriorly c3 to c7 and posteriorly c3 to t3 ,performed in 2009
I have had several steroid injections for recurrent pain,but my main problem now is constant nausea without vomiting, and facial pain and earache.i have seen a ENT surgeon who could find nothing wrong with my ear.
My most recent ct scan showed early degeneration at the top unused level.
I just want to get rid of the nausea as am not eating well and feeling generally awful!

The cause of your nausea can be- 1. Compression of Spinal cord or 2. Steroid induced gastritis. Facial pain & Earache can be due to- 1. Temporo-mandibular joint problem or 2. Referred pain. So you need to go back to your Neuro-surgeon & Orthopedician.
