Back of the head headaches

Does anyone here have headaches in the back of their head? I started having one about 2 weeks ago and now I have all the way down to my shoulders and it only goes away for no longer than 1 hour at a time if that!

Yes. I feel like crap today. My head hurt and I am in a general flare-pms. The back of my head is slamming and making my back hurt. I hope we both feel better SOON.

I have had this type of head ache before, I think eventually with fibro, you feel pain from everywhere. ((hugs))

I swear it's from a combo of fibro and neck tension in me. I use ice an dheat alternatig. Ugh. You have my sympathy.... Hope you can conquer it soon!

Yes. This happens to me also. Just thought it was part of Fibro.

Gentle hugs.

A possible source of this problem is TMJ. It can cause headaches which would extend into the neck and shoulders. Hope you feel better soon!

All the time and for many years now. I feel like January has just been one long headache (literally, lol!) These are common in Fibro patients. Generally due to tight muscles and soreness, posture being off and flare ups. As with any part of our body, the pain is more intense than in those without Fibro. Have you talked to your Dr? I'd mention it to him/her or your physical therapist if you have one.

    Well, our drought isn't broken but our gutter is. Got two big storms rigth after each other and, wait for it, a tornado warning.Now, I was already running for my go-bag when I heard thunder. The air felt wrong. The sky was getting  a color to the west. Been there, lived that, time to hide.No  funnel touched down but the radar indicated rotation, and boy was it visible from the ground.

    My cat is going on trial for crimes against skink-anity. SIX in six weeks. Three this last week alone.The crack is maybe 1/4 inche wide. Maybe. Skink skitters past, her paw shoots out, her claw hooks in, she yanks, and somehow, having defied physics... WHAM. Skink-o-rama.Now, don't get me wrong, it's nice that she's a pesticidal maniac, but OMG. Skinks do no harm. They don't come inside. WTF.So,...
