Headache for months?!


Question: The past 4-5 months have been so weird. In December 07 i was playing a rugby match and got a sudeen killer headache, it was one of the most pain experiences of my life i almost blacked out.

I did get a little knock on my head and got my neck twisted so i blame it on that. Since that day i have been getting headches on an off. Most of the time they happen in the morning and are dull, but other days they are basically constant but still dull. Everyday i am aware i have a headache.

This is still happeneing to me today 5 months on. My mate told me it was because i dont drink enough water so i started drinking properly and it just seems to dull the headches a bit or have no effect atall. Painkillers are the only things that can work. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about this and is it serious.

thanks in advance

Besides the obvious (that you need to get to a doctor ASAP) I worry that maybe your getting more and more painful headaches from the pain meds... these are called "rebound headaches".

You take one pain med for a bad headache and what happens is a day or so later ...you get a rebound headache requiring you to take yet more pain meds. this vicious cycle continues and continues.... til you are taking them everyday...
No its NOT the same as being addicted, its more a bad side effect of the pain meds.

Yes water could be a role playing factor, so cant stress, allergies and MANY things.... (including the initial injury)..... so you need your doctor to work on that...

get your butt to a doctor and/or specialist soon!!!! Print this page and give it to them...(to be sure they know EVERYTHING!)

Good luck and I hope you find relief soon!!! (sorry i dont have the golden answer).

5months? and you havent seen a doctor about it?!
It's always best to address these issues early
BUT besides that,
are you sure they arent migranes not headaches?
migranes tend to have a more sharp pain that comes constantly
and painkillers arent the best thing to be taking regularly
they may in turn cause liver damage!
Get it checked out ASAP please.

You need to be seeing a neurologist FAST!

ditto to the answers you got so far, but i will add one thing, i dont know if it would last this long but maybe your injury, pinched a nerve or something, im thinking it was caused by the injury seeing as how thats when the pain started, maybe you had a concussion, and needed to have it looked at right away, but sometime a little knock to the head seems very minor, and we dont think they are very serious, but you may be one of the unlucky ones, please have yours checked out apparently it did some damage

pl see what suits you.
If you are in cold country use all warm things.
Pl try cold water bath and observe if in hot country, if pain increases use warm.
If you have cough/cold body hot water bath will help.
Massage and exercise in front of morning sun is good thing, pl try.
Pl try simple acupressure given below for immediate relief.
If it fails you will have to go for Acupuncture.

There is hardly any medicine for H/A OR MIGRAINE. Not only these but for RA, OA, Back ache, Ear ache/ringing, Stomach ache and almost all painful diseases. Hence they become chronic.

Acidity, WORRY, sadness, excessive wind, cold , heat, sour food and sinusitis, constipation, intestinal inflammation; drug side effects, stress, bad smell, TV & COMPUTER SOMETIMES, Blockage in the flow of Vital Energy, BODY CONSTITUTION etc are their causes.
None of them can be treated with medicine.
Our 100% success in treating migraine &H/A confirms it.

Acupuncture is the best treatment.
I can treat it with naturopathy and YOG, but how can you manage pl see.

Pain killers don't treat the pain but we loose the sense of pain for some time; in that duration our body itself treats sometime and credit goes to meds.
The useless drugs have tremendous power of side effects like liver/kidney failures, ulcer, inflammation of intestines and lot more.

Avoid late sleeping if possible; worry, tension, spicy foods, sour fruits, stale bakery foods, SMOKING and alcohole.

Sweet foods, COCOANUT WATER,sweet fruits like dates, milk, rice, SPROUTS, SALADS and good sleep will help if cough is not there.

But you try one herbal remedy- two drops of drumstick leaves' juice in opposite nostril if one side pains and both nostrils if full H/A will give you rescue. Betel leaf helps but it is very strong.

If it is acute pl search a painful point (with round tipped pen/jimmy) 3-6 mm behind your thumb nail and press it, H/A will disappear within 30 seconds.

For forehead/eye pain the points are in front of nails on the finger tips or 3-7 mm below.

It may disappear naturally too.
