Hi, I didn't know which thread this should go in as the trouble is in the back of my neck, but i figured the back of the neck and the back are connected.

Anyways, oftentimes when I wake up I can hear and feel some fluid draining/moving in the back of my neck, close to the back of my skull. What could this be? is it normal? I've noticed no other problems, and it doesn't hurt!
 
i have recently been injured, TBI, shoulder, neck, and back. I have been experiencing the same thing however mine does have pain involved. i have been trying to figure out what could be the cause as this was never the cause before my accident. so far the closest explanation i can find is syringomyelia, but im not sure this is true. i am diagnosed with syringomyelia and have very little understanding as to what it is.
 
hey swishy, i would at least see your primary for this and possibly even obtain an MRI of your c spine and brain too? while this could be just a 'something' that is nothing to worry about, it could also be a something that is a bit more involved too. with a symptom like that, its just a really 'odd' type of thing to actually even be able to 'hear" or feel? you just DO have real CSF fluid that does drain back and forth up from the dura surrounding the brain thru the dura surrounding your spinal cord(it is all an open and connected sac), so there just IS a possible connection there somehow. i just have never heard of this type of symptom before. there just 'could' be something that is either increasing that flow timing (or increase in the creation of the CSF that does occur within the brain) or velocity within that dura up in those areas i mentioned that if this were me, i would be getting it checked out. hopefully this can be explained easily and not require more than just a good contrasted MRI. but DO see your doc. good luck with this and please let us know just what you find out. marcia
