hello I am a 41 yr. old woman, just diagnosed with mctd. a problem that I am having is occasional sharp pain at the base of my head atop my neck. im now starting to have trouble sleeping because it hurts when I turn my head. I was first of all trying to find out what this could be and if it has anything to do with the mctd. sometimes it feels as though my upper spine is going to just pop out especially with any sudden movement.
HIT hank for asking to ChatDoctorI can understand your problem, you have not stated here the treatment which are taking, your problem is related with your immune system, If I would be your Doctor then I would definitely put you on steroids this gives excellent result in such cases for long term basis, if you do not have diabetes or renal disease then you can have word with your doctor for this, have great day.
