Chronic neck and head pain

[Habsfan]

hey, I have been having chronic neck and head pain for 8 months now, the last 2 weeks it has got worse. I had a ct scan and neck xray in june, both came back good. I have done message therapy and acupucture, nothing worked. I now have mild tremors, and recently noticed a swollen lymph node on my neck, my head pain has gotten worse since this. My doctors are telling my its tension headaches, but i dont know what to think, nothing works and i always have a headache, it has been along 8 months. My headaches are worse in the morning, and in night when lying down.

Let me know
J

thanks for the response, no never had to neck or head trama, so thats what kind of scares me. It all seemed to start after a sinus cold in february but that went away but the headache never. Neck and head seem to be worse in the night and morning.

Hi,
How are you? Was there a previous trauma to your head or neck? It is good that the CT scan and x-ray were both fine. Aside from tension headache, this could be cluster headache and even sinus infection as well. Cluster headache attacks occur every day for weeks or month, then disappear for a few weeks then recurs. Sinus headache often increases in severity throughout day and may also present with fever in some cases. If medications and alternative medicine do not work, check with your doctor for proper evaluation. Take care and do keep us posted.
