plugged ears

hi everyone.
Maybe someone can shed some light for me. A year ago I began to loose my hearing. My ears are constantly plugged like from a bad cold. I began to have headaches on a daily basis. I went to an ent who did the whole prednisone thing, saw my pcp etc. etc. etc. About 10 weeks ago I began to have muscle spasms in my back, went back to pcp and was given flexeril. No improvement, so I took it upon myself to see a chiro. He's been doing some adjustments and I've been feeling a little better. But then it seems I've been a little dizzy, ears still muffled and headaches still there. Because my pcp didn't show too much interest in anything going on, I was lucky my chiro could order the mri for me. He called me friday and told me I have disc herniations at C2 & C3. He said this is pretty rare. I don't see him until Wednesday to go over results. But he did say we need to continue treatment to get my eustacian tubes to open. He also said the herniations were not bad enough to need surgery. This was a great relief to me. Has anyone suffered with ear problems with a C2 & C3 herniation.

Any responses are greatly appreciated.

Patti

Re: plugged ears

Are you sure you don't have sinus problems? Plugged ears is a symptom.

Re: plugged ears

When I went to the ent nothing was said to me about any sinus problems.
My chiro says I could have nerves being pressed on from the herniated discs.
Does anyone know anything about disc herniations at C2 & C3????? I really can't find too much info on this ......... Thanks

Re: plugged ears

It's COULD be your jaw causing your ear problems. Jaw joint dysfunction can cause ear symptoms and neck / upper back problems can cause jaw issues.

Do your ears crackle and pop? Pain? Pressure? What exactly are you feeling in your ears? You may have eustachian tube dysfunction.

The problem is that nobody will be able to give you a clear diagnosis such as "This bone, this nerve, this blood vessel, this muscle is your exact problem and this is how we fix it".

I have been dealing with this for a year. My ENT said it was probably TMJ (look it up on google and there's also a TMJ board on this site).
