Hello i am a 15 year old with anxiety disorder and i have been experencing some symptoms of a brain tumor please help my symptoms consist of -minor headachs at the top right and temples of my head. Also burning eyes like the back of my eyes and below my eyebrow. a little bit of neck pain on the sides of my neck and pain sometimes in my jaw.

It still sounds like migraines--brain tumors don't usually present with eye pain. If anything, they'd present with blurred vision or double vision, unless they're severely compressing one of the cranial nerves, in which case you'd experience the pain consistently, not in a transient fashion, as you've described.

Tell your doctor every symptom you're currently experiencing or recently experienced, and they will be better able to treat you!

you should! please dont let this keep going and tell the doc everything u no! i wish i did and the more u put it off the harder it gets for them as normal doctors are not used to nero symptoms. You need to go see a nero doc ask ur gp he will send you too see one as long as u ask. do you parents go with you?

ok i just went to the doctor last week but i dident mention the feelings that i have because i dident feel them at that time i thought it was just anxiety but now i went to school today and my right eye got even worse over night its only my right eye so i think it might have something to do with my eyes or it could be something in my brain not letting my eyes see correctly thats why i was scared for a brain tumor but when i go back to the doctor next thursday i will tell him about these symptoms i am feeling.

It sounds like you're suffering from migraines, as shorty671 suggested. You should definitely schedule an appointment with a neurologist so your symptoms can be properly evaluated and diagnosed. Some classical migraine symptoms are one-sided headaches, facial pain or weakness, and a burning sensation behind the eye. In the meantime, try not to worry too much--it doesn't sound like you have a brain tumor, which are rare in people your age.

Feel better soon, and keep us posted!

Hi Jon

I have just come across ur message and I am experiencing simmilar problems to yourself. It could be that your experiencing migraines these can sometimes give you pain in your neck and your jaw. Have you had an mri scan? If your worried go and speak to ur doctor and get them to send you for a mri scan and also see a nero doctor. I am still being investigated unfortunatly because syptoms like our are not visual doctors tend to always say its migraines. Good luck and keep me posted.
