I get a very intense sharp pain in the back of my head (left side) followed by a warm to slightly burning headache. Was told it was muscle spasms and was given pain killers and muscle relaxers but it keeps happening.
That happened to a persons mom that I know
Turns out she had a brain tumor. Not saying that that’s what you have but if it doesn’t go away within an average amount of time I suggest you see a doctor.

I injured my neck a long time ago and I have had problems every since. What can I do to make my muscles relax/ ease the pain?
OK more than likely, when you injured yourself, you caused a misalignment in your neck. This will cause additional stress and strain on the muscles in your neck that will end up causing pain.
I would recommend that you see a chiropractor. they specialize at being able to diagnose what is going on and more than likely they can correct the situation.
I hope this information helps. I wish you the best.

I am a competitive swimmer and I need to be at swim practice everyday. My muscles have been sore for about 2 weeks and I am getting very irritated, It hurts all over. I am talking head toes and everything in between. How can I make the pain go away with out taking a break from swimming?
People who exercise and train a LOT take very good care of their muscles for the critical hour or two right after they stop exercising. They apply cold compresses to the tendon areas they expect to be most painful, and they immediately take an anti-inflamatory such as Advil or even Naproxen (12 hours). Anti-oxidant vitamins are also used such as Vitamin A,C,E, so take a multi-vitamin along, and bring some extra chewable vitamin C tablets along with you.
If you’ve been sore for two weeks, and it’s not going away, talk to your doctor. A short course of a corticosteroid may reduce the inflamation quickly and long enough for your body to heal up. This is not the same as taking “anabolic steroids.”
Finally, even though you’re swimming, you can still tape up the area right below your kneecap, and your ankles, part of your elbow, etc… to help support your muscle movements and protect your tendons from tears. If sports tape doesn’t stick, use duct tape, and overlap it.
Do you ride a bus to the swimming pool? If so, make sure you really stretch out, especially your hips, before you swim. And take another stretch before riding home, and after… Keep limber.
When you get home, three times a week, take an epsom salts bath. It really works.
Good luck!

I had a horrible one sided headache last week. I still have the pain there. I had all the symptoms of a migraine except that along with it I had neck pain. Now it has settled right where the base of the skull meets the neck. It hurts when I move side to side and sends a shooting pain up my head.
My massage therapist did say that my clavical muscle on that side was very tight. Could a nerve or muscle cause pain in this spot or a headache?
yes. and a massage therapist would probably know. also maybe a chiropractor might help, or drinking water to stay hydrated. it’s possible yyou just slept on it wrong…

i had a radial head prosthesis put in my right elbow march 10th and am dealing with a lot of pain. it almost consumes my days. i have two toddlers to run after so i don’t like taking pills? any suggestions?
I have physical therapy every other day, and they use the electrical thing, and then they stretch the arm like crazy. i hurt all the time. There has got to be something i can do.
Use a mixture of essential oils of peppermint, helichrysum, clove, wintergreen, lavader, and euclyptus. These all have pain numbing effects that can be used in long timeframes without any negative side effects. Additionally if you have bad muscle tension this will helpwith that too, this mixture doesn’t only numb pain but it helps achieve a balnce in your muscular system so you heal up whats causeing the pain. Also if youend up being sensitive to the oil mixture wash it off with olive or almond oil, DO NOT USE WATER!!! Water pushes the oil further into the skin where as the vegetable oils will dilute them. Its rare to have reactions, but if you do use less of the oil or dilute it before application with either of the before mentioned vegetable oils. Hope this works for oyu.

I was cleaning and heard a crunch and felt a sharp pain on the back left side of my neck right under my skull. The pain has gotten worse and now hurts right down behind my shoulder blade and it is agonizing to move my left arm or move my head in any direction. I have been doing hot and cold compresses and have taken hot showers and massaged ny neck but am getting no relief. Should I go to the doctors?

I took a carisoprodol (soma) and a xanax. which I always take together for my back pain and anxiety. but this time its making me erally drowsy to the point where i can’t keep my head up. very difficult to type this. I’m afraid if i fall asleep i might not wake up. its the same dose i always take. but lately i’ve been taking vikoden in the morn/afternoon. could this be the cause.
i cant stand up without losing my balance. could it just be that i haven eaten enough today and the effects are stronger. should i hold off as long as i can before falling asleep?
