Hi Everyone!

I was wondering if anybody else gets tight knotted shoulders and neck that then leads to a migraine?

Mine are so predictible-thay always last 3days and my head feels like it weighs a ton! Also i feel hungry the whole time ive got one-what's that all about????????????

This is my second day so tomorrow should be the last-hopefully.

Anyone else suffer the same?

xxxxxxxx

Yes, was discussing with chiropractor just today. He said it's headaches related to muscle tension.. knots in my shoulders/upper back/neck.... when you can get them massaged out/reduced, it really helps. I found neck traction helped too.

Had that problem just the other day, but not the first time. I get really bad neck pain to the point I wish I could remove my head! I usually have neck and shoulder pain at the same time and always get a bad headache with the pain. It usually lasts a couple days at least. Not sure about the hungry thing though. I usually eat when I am bored and just sitting around and I am usually bored and sitting around when I have the pain and headache so I guess that's why I snack. Hope it resides soon :)

I have the same thing with the neck and shoulder pain causing a migraine. I don't get hungry usually I get nausea from the headache. I have noticed it isn't as bad since the doctor gave me amitriptalyn to help me sleep better. I looked it up and it is often used to control migrain headaches so it's kind of a twofer. I don't do well with head pain. I sure hope you feel better!

Research cerviocogenic (sp?) Headaches. I started cortisone injections a year ago to help control them and they have worked well. I still get one of two a month but its a lot better than the three a week I was averaging.

Yes! I get these once in a while now, before it used to be a "Suicide" migraine 4-5 times a week but now I just have the neck tension hehe
