Prayers are very appreciated! I have been, several times. They looked at a brain MRI and said it was normal. Well, normal for me. I have 3 lesions on my brain that have been there since my first scan in 2018 but haven't grown, and I'm told I've probably had them since I was a teen and they are in a dormant part of my brain.

I'm hoping this is just some kind of inner ear fluid issue, seems odd that it would affect my neck and face too though. I have so many issues that I can't tell normal from abnormal anymore. I did have a similar ear fullness a few weeks back and thought I was getting sick, but ended up going away a couple days in like this, but no dizziness or ringing then.

Are you sure it is your neck popping and not your jaw? Move your lower jaw side to side .. does it pop or make maybe some sort of noise? You might have TMJ|TMD or maybe bumped your jaw or head in some way to injure it. A dentist usually handles that and hard to find one that deals with TMJ other than supply with a night guard and adjustments to teeth. The lump in your throat was most likely from swelling. TMJ can cause ear, sinus, throat and neck swelling and pain. … some people have headaches and arm pain. It can take a long time .. as in months … for the jaw and neck muscles to heal once the jaw retains its position. Exercises for the jaw and neck can help and nsaids if you can tolerate them. A steroid can help with swelling along with moist heat. I'm not saying TMJ is what you have .. just a possibility.
