Headaches

[TedTheMaineCoon]

Morning All

I haven’t been on pred since last autumn . Pain is manageable @ the mo’ .

But I do get these headaches, one sided ( right ) on the whole , from back of head , over scalp & pain in my eye or eyes . Lasts anything from a few mins to all day .

Seen Gp about it , she thinks it’s all coming from my neck . Physio Gave me neck exercise's , helped a bit . But flaring up again .

Has anyone else experienced this with pmr ?

By the way I was sent recently a hosp appointment for ultra scan on hands , wrists , shoulders & neck !

Regards

Lesley

Why did the doctor decide it was the neck?

see if this rings any bells

This YouTube video shows it really clearly as one can see why it can cause the trouble it does.

I do get one-sided neck-to-above-eye headaches. They aren't terrible and I can usually get them largely under control by massaging the sore spot on the neck, and smearing tiger balm over the eye. Sometimes that isn't enough and I have to resort to a painkiller. Also helps to walk around rather than remain sitting, and to rest my head on a wheatbag at night.

Thank you . Yes I find wheat bags very helpful .
