Sat here propped up in my recliner chair at 1a.m trying my best not to move my head. If I do then I get a really sharp type of pain in the right hand side of the base of my skull rising into my head a little and down into the neck/shoulder muscle. If I keep my head still then it's a constant dull more toothache like pain. Not much fun at all, especially the sharp stabbing pains! This began when I woke up after nodding off for just a few minutes in the sitting position this afternoon. I also had the same thing after waking up christmas morning (it really put a damper on my christmas). It gradually eased off over the next week until recurring today. Something tells me I won't be getting much sleep for the next couple of nights..............................
I suspect that it's related to my RA which has been flaring quite badly over the last few weeks? Has anyone had a similar thing? If so did you manage to ease the pain somehow? As if I wasn't having enough trouble with this current flare!!
edit..it also hurts when I'm chewing food.
