carotid artery aching

by bruce711, Oct 05, 2007 08:14PM
The left side of my neck, where I believe the carotid artery is located, has been hurting for about 1 week. Any ideas?

Carotidynia?

I think it could be Carotidynia too. My neck in the carotid area aches and throbs, and the pain got worse, and it also felt like there was earache too. My nose got blocked on one side, the right side, and when it cleared, my neck felt a little better. I ended up having Ultra sounds and they thought I had a blockage but nothing showed up on the MRI.. I took a low dose of Predisnone and it went away, only comes back a little now, so I just take a quarter of a pill and then taper off. So the best thing to do is to have an MRI that shows up everything. Demand one if you have too. Good luck, hope you get better soon... Sedatemink ..
