A member asked:
What can i do for terrible headaches that start at the back of my head and seem to wrap ask the way around to my forehead (like a bandana)?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Treat Causes: These symptoms can come from muscle spasm at the back of the head. Frequently this causes irritation of the Occipital Nerves which can cause these type of symptoms. Treatment of these spasms can give relief so relaxation therapies, local modalities such as heat or cold can help. A small cortisone injection (Greater Occipital Nerve Injection) can also be helpful. See a headache specialist.
