Soreness/Twitching in Head...Cell Phone Related?

Several years ago (maybe 2003 or 2004) I had a CT Scan done because I was having some soreness and discomfort on the left side of my head above my ear. Pain appeared to be superficial/muscular. CT Scan was completely negative. Neuro Doc said I might have some kind of myalgia type pain. He gave me an injection and some pills...and over time I stopped noticing it.

It has come back in recent weeks...same time of year it appeared before. What's really weird is that the pain seems to present itself in the same area where I use a cell phone...and the muscles in that area will often twitch when I use a cell phone.

Could the cell phone be causing the discomfort...is there any concern for more serious effects of this connection?

Thanks

I have felt the same thing.  I mentioned it to a co worker and he also felt it.  I since bought a microwave energy detector and noticed my phone is off the charts compared to other phones.

there have been all kinds of studies on how cell phone usesage affects us....not sure there was anything conclusive, and everyone reacts differently to meds, treatments and cell phone use.....maybe u should try using the speaker phone and see if there is any change...I'd be interested...I do not use a cell phone  that much, let me know how the experiment goes.....

Good luck
Godspeed
