Suggest treatment for cervical degenerative disc disease
Patient: I have a degenerative neck condition, but recently, my head has an intense pressure-feeling, and I want to know if this is directly related or something else. I also have a swollen area behind my left ear, right at the bottom of my hairline, and that lymph node feels a little swollen as well. The head pressure makes me feel disconnected and disoriented, and makes my head hurt. Thank you. Doctor: Hi, I value your concern regarding the symptoms. I have gone through your symptoms, and in my opinion your symptoms are not probably due to your degenerated discs, but the swelling behind ear is definitively a thing to be concerned about, please visit an ENT surgeon in your area to see what that swelling is all about.Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions. Wishing you good health.Special note-  Any medication prescribed needs to be taken after consultation with your personal doctor only.
