What Causes Pain In Right Side Of Head With A Bone Cyst In Back Of Head?
hi. i have pain on the right side of my head. it has been there for 8 months. at first i thought it was tmj. then i thought it was myofascial pain. i had dental work, too. deep inside i wonder if it s an infection. now it feels like the left side of my oral pharynx is swollen, but this is recent. sometimes the pain goes into the head or neck. 2 factors about me: i have a bone cyst at the back of my head which increases and decreases in size. also, i am one of those people who occcasionally gets food stuck in her eustachian tube. dentists and ddrs. find nothing. what doyou think?

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
First of all, I would like to reassure you that there is no need to worry about your symptoms, as they do not suggest any serious illness.
Clinical examination, as well as ENT and dental surgeon have not found any thing. This is a good news.
The bone cyst at the back of head would not lead to pain in the right side of head.
The most likely cause of your headache could be migraine or muscle tension headache. Please consult a neurologist for confirmation of diagnosis and initiation of treatment.
I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow up queries or if you require any additional information.
Wishing you good health,
