pain at the back of the head

pain at the back of the head

I am a patient of lower back pain for the past 10 yrs. I have problems in my L4 and L5. I have now adapted my life in such a way that i no longer get back pain. But lately i have started to have pain at the back of my head. It is a throbbing pain which increases with sudden movement. It generally triggers off when i have travelled long distances, worked on the computer or done some corrections (i am a teacher). Doctors i have met completely rule out that it is linked with my spine, one Dr. even treated me for migraine by giving Relpax, but of no use. The pain usually disappears after a day or two, but this time it has been ten days and there is no sign of reduction in pain despite taking pain killers. I am truly desperate. I have searched the net and feel that i am suffering from cervicogenic headache. Kinldy advice.
Thanks

hi, it seems you are having occipital headache,which could be due to nerve cause or raise blood pressure.It is common in cases of cervical spondolosis too.Please consult the doctor for evaluation.
