Question

Not sure wat it is. If i press on my second cervical it is very sore. X-rays were taken,nothing wrong. Pain radiates up in my skull and behind my eyes and radiates down my spine, affecting surrounding muscles. Sometimes get cramps in arms and legs or hips as well. Feel nauseous sometimes when I get headache. Sometimes get like a shocking, tingling sensation in my wrist. Could you help me?

Answer 1

I'm sorry but these other answers are wrong. Fibromyalgia begins In the upper cervical region and radiates down. Every sensation you feel is part of the syndrome. The best doctor to see is a rheumatologist. They will check the eighteen trigger points and tell you if you have Fibromyalgia. They are the only doctor that can give you a diagnosis.

I definately recommend seeing a doctor.

However, just to keep you on the up-and-up, fibromyalgia involes pain in several locations. These "tender sites" hurt quite a bit when pressed, and you must have at least half of them. So, it doesn't sound like that.

However, I do not know what occipital neuralgia is..

Still, doesn't sound like fibro. I'd see the doctor anyway. Good luck, and feel better.

The symptoms you are describing could be associated with spinal nerve root irritation and should be evaluated by a neurologist. He may suggest an MRI or other diagnostic tests, but you should consult a specialist.

Sorry you're having difficulties. Take care.
