I can't deal with this by myself any longer. I hope I can find someone who has a similar problem.My tinnitus started over a month ago when I rehurt my neck. I have a bulging disc in my neck. C 3-4, C4-5. I hurt it the first time back in October last year.Had severe muscle spasms that sent me to the hospital. They put me on muscle relaxers and sent me to physical therapy. It helped but I kept rehurting it. This last time was the worst and instead of going back to the PT, I chose a chiropractor.
He's a good one and has helped me a lot. This recent incident has caused some tinnitus in both ears. It was so bad I couldn't stand to lay down on my neck.It was waking me up in the night. When I got up it would get better until it was almost gone. My neck has been swelling a lot and the tinnitus is worse then but when the swelling went down the tinnitus got better too. It gets raging bad after I visit my chiro because it makes the swelling worse. I also have a bulging disc in my lower back that has been swelling.I use lots of ice on my neck and back to get the swelling down in both.
I've had a weird problem with sitting on soft surfaces.Anything with a cushion aggrivates my tinnitus. My neck gets real stiff and the tinnitus starts screaming so loud I can't concentrate on anything. I have to sit on a hard chair with a towl on it so my bottom won't get sore. I don't understand this neck strain I'm getting when I sit down, and I can't find anything about it online thats like this. Its recently been getting worse and its doing it even on my hard chair. I think it may be connected to my back but im not sure.The first time I got bad neck strain from sitting that caused the tinnitus to act up was when I tried to sit on a donut cushion to relieve my disc pain in my back. After that I couldn't sit on anything soft or I'd get the neck strain and loud ringing.
Recently I've been doing a squat for 2 min. every day for my back. Its stretched my back out and helped it a lot. It hasn't been swelling at all since i started doing the squat. I just sit in a squat for 2 min. The last few times I did the squat, I've been getting really dizzy when I stand up. Since the sitting problems got worse I've stopped some of the supplements the chiro had me take hoping it would help but it hasn't changed since it got worse over a week ago. I just recently stopped doing the squat because I think it may have caused this somehow.
Has anybody had anything like this happen to them? Could it be some sort of weird muscle strain? I'm worried that I may have done permanent damage and this screaming in my ears and stiff neck won't quit.
I have really bad anxiety and my husband thinks its what is causing it. but when this got worse I wasn't having any anxiety at all. In fact my neck was feeling good when this got worse.This loud screaming in my ears has caused my anxiety to start up and I know its just feeding it but I'll be perfectly fine and as soon as i sit down it starts up and THEN I get anxiety.Then my anxiety keeps it going all day.
Why does my neck keep getting so strained when I sit down? Did that squat cause this? Will it get better if i stop doing the squat?
I'm taking a break from the chiro this week to see if it will calm down.If anyone has ever had this happen or has advise I would really like to hear it. I'm scared and worried.
