New symptoms with my neck Oh, brother....I'm not sure what to do....this morning I started experiencing pain in my left bicep (it looks swollen compared to right bicep too) and so I took a hand mirror, lifted up my PJ top and looked at the back of my spine and neck.....and my left scapula is really sticking out, way more than the right. Not sure if it is related to my painful bicep but I'm pretty sure it is all related to my cervical issues. I am also experiencing bad headaches (I never get headaches) with my left earlobe flushed red. In addition, my lumbar spine looks quite crooked.Does anyone have any ideas what this scapula/bicep problem could be? Am I panicking? Because I feel like I need to go to Urgent Care. My head feels like it's going to explode.....CL

Re: New symptoms with my neck Cindyl,
Your ear lobe redness could be a sign of an ear infection.
I have had ear infections in the past and I used to get middle or inner ear infections. But in the past few years, I got an outer ear infection.
The symptoms were a throbbing, warm and sore ear lobe.
