I have been telling you all about how I've been falling down. Within a 1 week period I fell 4 times and the last time I fell I landed hard on my backside (ahem, butt). Before the bad week I had pain on the left side. Since the fall I have been having pressure and pain in the base of my skull on either side. It doesn't seem to be getting any better and by the end of the day I am in nasty pain and can barely turn my head. It feels like someone has smacked me in the base of my skull with a 2x4. It is painful to lay on my back because of the pressure/pain in the back of my head. I get sharp pains in my head and ears all day long.
I was diagnosed with at 13mm herniation and had decompression surgery in October, 2010. My symptoms have been returning slowly and with a vengence. I have a bad feeling that something is going wrong!
Has anyone had this pain/pressure in the base of their skull? What was is caused from?
Thanks, TerriMN
