I can sympathize with you on this one. I get headaches nearly every day since my accident. I know they’re not fun.

I always heard that headaches were from the veins in your neck swelling. I guess that’s vasodilation.

Infrequent exposure to high doses of nitroglycerin can cause severe headaches known at NG head, these headaches can be severe enough to incapcitate some people, however, humans develop a tolerance and addiction to nitroglycerin after long-term exposure. Withdrawal can be fatal, withdrawal symptoms include headaches and heart problems, with re-exposure to nitroglycerin these symptoms may disappear. For workers in nitroglycerin manufacturing facilities, this can result in a "Monday Morning Headache" phenomena for those who experience regular nitroglycerin exposure in the workplace; over the weekend they develop symptoms of withdrawal, which are then countered by reexposure on the next work day.

Well, a couple of advil usually relieves some of my pain. I can often sleep them off. I drink lots of water, that usually helps too. I ice my neck, because since there is swelling in your neck, which like pinches the nerves (for me at least), the ice brings down the swelling. If it doesn’t work, it at least numbs some of the pain.

If none of this works I don’t know what will.

"Andrew the Pain Specialist" lol, has a nice ring.

btw what can you do for a bad back?

January 11, 2007 at 11:26 pm #65871

Participant

Lol it does 😛

i dont know what Andrew would do about that but i would first get an Xray and then see what my doc suggests. Chiro may be ur answer, as well as different exercises and stretches. Its very important to keep the muscles around ur back in good shape, to help support you, like ur stomach and back muscles.

i’ve done it all, currently working on working out my back, shoulders, and core muscles, it’s starting to help

January 11, 2007 at 11:39 pm #65873

Participant

You will find that it will, stomach muscles too, they help support the lower back, thats what i needed and it worked! I have this problem where the first vertebrae in the tail bone region is still fused to the lower thoracic i think its called, so four bones are doing the work of five. I never noticed untill the pain started a few years ago, but when i got into shape and built some muscle as well as doing what my chiropractor ordered 😛 it did help.
