I had good luck with taking naproxen and putting an ice pack on my neck. It would take the edge off for awhile at least. Good luck!!!
I find that anything that helps to take the pressure off the back of my head helps. My best relief is laying in the bath tub with a towel under my head, kind of floating. If I can't do that, than laying on a soft pillow. Any vertical position is BAD for me! I also use Excedrin Migraine as soon as I start feeling the pain creeping up. Sometimes it helps to keep it dull, sometimes not. Hope you find some relief!!!
Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.
First thing u can do to help pain from Chiari is to try to relax....we do have a thread on the forum of diff techniques .....
A warm soak, or a heating pad may help...but we all have to learn our limitations....and do things in moderation to help avoid triggering a bad HA....
Chiari symptoms tend to cycle...u may be in a flare....u do need to try to relax the best u can as stress will only make u feel worse.
I hope this is of some help...the waiting is always the worse part....
