Accepted Answer

Head pains: This positional symptom may be caused by an impingement of the occipital nerve which emanates at the base of the skull, runs up the scalp behind the ear and all the way to the side of the forehead. The pinching of the nerve can be caused from arthritic spurs in the neck or from very tense neck muscles. An anti-inflammatory medication like ibuprofen may help. Apply warm and cold. See MD as needed.

Question 4

Accepted Answer

: I'm not quite sure you're experiencing migraine headaches. Muscle contraction tension headaches are a more likely cause of continual headaches like yours. You need diagnostic clarity.  I recommend that you consult a neurologist for accurate diagnosis &amp; proper treatment options. Any appropriate testing will be done. You may be referred for stress management therapy depending upon the findings.

Question 6

searching for the cause could potentially take years. (i know this personally.) until the cause is found, the symptoms need to be treated. severe pain can ruin a persons life. ?

Accepted Answer

Question?: I agree pain should be treated until a cause can be found. The disagreement usually occurs when dr and patient have different ideas about what level of pain relief is best.  Acute pain may be treated with narcotics if nonaddictive drug do not give adequate relief. Long term pain is best treated with non narcotic solutions including PT,  biofeedback, TENS, NSAIDS, and other modalities.
