ear pain, stiff neck,sore throat, head tenderness on left side only

[cher3323]

Hello, for about 15 days now i have had severe ear pain, stiff neck, sore throat, sore head, pain over eye, all on my left side. My doctor did sinus xray, and nose swab. No signs of anything, all negative. My chiropractor has adjusted me and did pressure point therapy on my neck and face area- did give me some relief. Went back to Dr. she gave me two dif. antiobiotics, and an ear antibiotic-drop. The ear pain has subsided some, but all the other symptoms seem to just lingure. This is all on my left side. my head hurts to touch it... throat is sore daily and ear is sore and somewhat painful still, some stiffness in neck too still.... Could this be a virus?
I don't have any nausa, or dizzness and no temp. Also the points of the base of my skull have been sensative on both sides and glands swollen on left side too.
Please help!!! Thank you and I welcome your comments!!

I have the same symptoms that you mentioned. Started with a headache on left side of head a week ago. then swollen lymph nodes a base of skull - left side. then tenderness of scalp with small bumps on scalp - left side. And tenderness down left side of neck and in ear and left side of throat swallowing. Seen Dr twice. Ruled out throat infection and ear infection. Have appt for MRi, Cat scan. Going on for a week

the common area of all your problems is the head. did all these start suddenly? or was there a progression? stiff neck can result in head tenderness i.e. if you slept wrong. if the problem persists i suggest you see an ENT specialist

Any solution to this, or at least a diagnosis? These same symptoms have been bothering me for the past couple days.

I have the same exact symptoms, on the left side as well. Any update to this?

Hi I just found this, because I am having these exact symptoms that you all are. The ear pain, the neck pain, and a stabbing headache all of these on my left side. I am extremely weak, tired and nauseated and this has been going on for more than a week. Anyone find out what this is yet?

LOL where do you all live?I have the exact same symptoms minus the ear pain. Tenderness at the base of skull, stiff neck and swollen gland on left side. Doc took blood sample and throat culture and said it must be a bug because they were fine...but its been going on for more than two weeks now..

I've been have same symptoms all day, started with sore throat last wk and today tenderness to my head and all left side of face, also getting a deep stabbing pain in my left ear. Has anyone found out what this is yet? I also suffer with acid reflux so thought at first that was cause of sore throat but now with the other things as well I don't know......

I just joined, didnt finish my profile yet. I found you guys on a search because I was fearing meningitis! I have no fever tho. And the pain and stiffness is on the left. Started in my ear, then the boney part of the skull behind my ear, and today the terribly stiff neck. I am in Pennsylvania like Cher, but this all started with me a few days ago, and I see hers started in the winter. I was doing OK in the winter save for always being so cold!
