Is is possible to hear spinal fluid going down your neck?
I have experienced this since I was a teenager, at least. It doesn't happen all the time, sometimes I can go several months to a year without noticing it at all.
But sometimes I feel like I can hear fluid coming down the back of my neck. I never told a doctor, and it doesn't really bother me, but it's strange. It sounds kind of like water going down a drain pipe.
I have some medical background, a degree in Health Information Administration and a year of nursing school, but I never heard anyone talk about anything like this.
Has anyone here in Helpde.com ever experienced that, or have you ever heard of it?

I emailed this question to myself because I was curious if anyone would have a good explanation after a couple of hours...no such luck. Here's what I have to say... I had a similar experience. I had an emergency surgery and was put under in a hurry. When I woke I was very groggy but fine. After a little while (hours perhaps or a day) if I tilted my head I could hear fluid running down into my neck. It was like I could turn a faucet in my head off and on by the position of my neck. I freaked out and made my husband put his ear on my ear to see if he could hear it. No luck. When the surgeon checked on me I mentioned it several times over several days and got no response what so ever (except maybe a note in my chart that Physc may need to be called). It was so strange and no one would even listen to what I was trying to tell them. The sensation and sound went away but it still makes me wonder to this day. I believe it was similar to the experience you had. I am sure I have not helped you on your quest for knowledge...but at least you know you are not alone! It's just me and you, kid!
You are unique but if you are still alive after all this time then you are okay
I don't think that's possible. Maybe you have a tendency to get fluid in your ears and it sounds like it's coming from a certain direction. That's my best guess.
I know what you're talking about, and occasionally I have experienced it. Blood is flowing through your body. You happened to be able to hear it at a rare moment. The next time you hear it, see if it doesn't remind you of the sounds you hear when you put a seashell to your ear.
I can understand your concern. I have experienced somthing like you mentioned. The cause of my situation is as I describe to you- I have chronic pain, for treatment I had injections of botox in the area around my head and neck and could hear the liquid medicine going in and after the injections I could hear the circulated blood afterwards. Sometimes, I can feel the blood circulating, not hearing it . I really would sugest that you discuss this with your attending doctor. I'll bet that you have told your patients about the problems or concerns that they may have encounted. This may be a major symptom or it may not be. Ask questions if you want the answer from someone, Please ask the doctor.
