Hi all,
I couldn't find my original posts and reactions to it, but just wanted to let you know that I saw a walk-in clinic doctor to have a form filled out, and asked about the moderate to sometimes severe pain in the back of the left side of my head, particularly around the occipital lobe area, and behind my ear.
The doctor was impatient and outright questioned me why I don't have a family doctor. She wouldn't sign the ADP form because the hearing test was not attached, then I remembered the audiologist gave it to me separately and I forgot to bring documentation. However, after instructing me to move my head and neck in various positions, she stated that it was from tight muscles in the side of my neck. However, the type of pain is not the dull, aching, tightness type that I (perhaps inaccurately) associate with muscle stiffness, but more like nerve pain at various intersections that cause redness and indentation of my glasses/hearing aid into the skin. However, she did give a referral for a physiotherapist for me to search, so I could find one and check with them. I find they are sometimes better than the doctors.
Meanwhile, I still have trouble with my right eye, but without a g.p. for a referral, that will have to wait.
