My stepkids mystery pain
So SS has has some neck pain issues going on now about 2 months. He says it's really not a pain but more discomfort. Now he says it's moved into his jaw. He has seen his pediatric doctor and not much was done. So now he is getting massage and seeing a chiropractor (not my decision). I'm thinking the dentist might be the next step if it's moved into his jaw. I also believe he is going to start physical therapy soon.
It's just so weird. He tries to explain how it feels and it's hard for him to even describe it.
Any other ideas of who else we could see to find out what is going on?
Re: My stepkids mystery pain
Has he had an x-ray? I know absolutely nothing about necks/jaw - but in my head, it makes sense to get an x-ray to make sure everything is in alignment.
I was wondering this, because often the worst symptoms aren't located in the jaw. Mine can be midway down my back, even. Did anything change? New desk at school, or same desk but he grew? New sport? More computer time? More hands on activity like art? How old is he, maybe some molars aren't growing properly? Maybe things aren't growing evenly (can that happen? I'm stretching here)? Try a head and neck specialist if the PCP doesn't help. Or even a dentist or orthodontist.
Did he have any physical activity that knocked him around? Maybe a trauma set something out of alignment, so an X-ray might help. A coworker was rear ended, felt fine for three days, then suddenly had neck pain. An X-ray showed a vertebrae was misaligned like an inch, so she had to see a chiropractor and was recommended massage for easing residual pain and tension.
