  Yes,  is the neck. It is cerviocranial instability...many times this worsens after a PFD bcuz of the shaving of the C1 and C2 vertebrae......

I just ran a few arrands, but my mom drove. And they didnt tell me to rest, normal activities. But i really havent done anything. My headaches do get a lil better when i lay down, but not very much. Oh this sux. I go see my ns here on mon. The one who did my surgery, not dr oro. I have 2 ns now. So we will see what he thinks?! Then i will call dr oro and my nl and let them know.

Hang in there sweetie. You said that you have a bad headache.... does it get better when you lye down and worse when you sit up???
Did you stay off your feet and rest for 48 hours like they say too? I know that if you get up too  quickly and start t trying to do stuff....sometimes it makes it worse instead of allowing the shots to truly help. I am so sorry you are  hurting. My best wishes and prayers are with you.
