I woke up Saturday morning with neck pain like I've never felt. I thought I just slept wrong so I took some Aleve and did a cold compress. On Sunday it was worse. It felt like a gripping on the left side of my neck. The pain runs through my neck, behind my ear and down the back. With the ear pain I thought maybe it was an ear infection.

I decided to email my neurologist this morning since the pain is still there. The office called me right away to schedule an appointment for first thing in theโ€ฆ read more

Well, all is good in my world! Turns out that I have a herniated disk in my neck. It's not causing pain in my arm but mostly down the left side of my back. He could also feel my muscle spasm.
I'm on Medrol for now. I'll see my dr in a few weeks when I go for my Ocrevus infusion.
Thanks for all your help and support!

I hate to even suggest it, but I hope that they can write out TGN - Trigeminal Neuralgia. Best wishes
