I have been having trapezius pain, and headaches everyday, what could be causing it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
The traps attached @: -the base of your scull, and can cause irritation of the occipital nerves. Typically these are one sided, or the other or both sides @ once. Typically start @ the base of the scull & come up the back of your head over the top & can then settle behind your eyes. Find the cause of the tight traps & be treated & head aches will also go away. Start with your PCP.
