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.
