Taken Muscle Relaxer For Headache. Elevated LDL Cholesterol In Blood. What Is Wrong?
I have had a headache for almost 5 weeks. The back of my neck on the right side. I have taken a muscle relaxer and two types of medicines which none relieve the pain. The only thing elevated in my blood test what cholesterol LDL . I was placed on zocor for that. I am having to wait a month for a beurologist. I thought they should have ran a CT.the pain increases throughout the day and is worse at that time. Sometimes it wakes me up. What do you think may be wrong?

Hello,
Hyperlipidemia may be associated with other metabolic conditions like diabetes and hypertension which may cause neck pain.
Degenerative and bony conditions may also cause chronic neck pain. CT/MRI may help in diagnosis.
