I do have the same problem. Pain at the right side at the lower back of the head, if I touch it, it feels like a vein being pulled taut. I went to a chinese doctor who diagnosed me having rheumatic heart disease. He's also a herbalist and prescribed lots of vitamins,such as: omega-3, garlic, b-complex, iron, calcium-magnesium, vit.c, wheat germ and fiber. So far, it has lessened the pain.

I just found out I have a brain tumor and I have those exact symptoms with quite a few others like nausea, memory loss, hormone problems. Those same symptoms are what made me see the doctor to begin with.

Hi there! I am experiencing the same thing. And its not tumor or anything else, its just TMJ problem. Its related to our jaw joint. I have huge popping noises as well. its painful and irritating, but hopefully nothing to worry abt!

Hello!
I have an injury to C1 & C2 of my cervical spine. This is not a break but a twist and it sounds like what you wife chiro said. However mine was under control. Now it's not because of pulling myself into a truck that no longer has a step in it. But my chiro did have me doing very well.

Have her avoid bread and sugar and see if she feels better. This will help. Especially the bread if she can't do the sugar. Bread is an inflammatory and it will make her pain worse. What she needs is a good chiro. Mine is like no other but I don't think I can contact you or put his name on here or they will remove my post. His name is Coder and he is in Lancaster PA. He is like no other and I recommend you call and make an appointment and take her xrays with you. He will help her!

As the above responder mentioned, it sounds very much like a neck problem -- possibly misaligned cervical vertebre. To the list of specialists to check with, I would add a CHIROPRACTOR, who will take X-rays of your wife's spinal column, from top to bottom, and adjust the vertebre to put them back in place, and with completely nonintrusive methods.

As with everything, of course, it is good habit to shop around, as some will be better than others; but my mother and I have had high success with the aid of chiropractors, in removing a variety of symptoms, from extreme dizziness and weakness to actually moving a reversed curve in the other direction.

Chiropractors can even help with symptoms that seem completely unrelated to the spinal column, such as digestive trouble -- remember, every organ is controlled by nerves that emanate from the spinal cord, and when the vertebre are misaligned, the nerves, and possibly even the spinal cord itself, can become pinched and begin malfunctioning. A good chiropractor can put those bones back in place, and relieve the pinched nerves, along with a number of other problems they may be causing.

I certainly hope this helps, and I wish you and your wife good luck in finding a solution!

Sounds like TMJ. She should be checked by an TMJ specialist (usually a dentist or orthodontist and/or ENT).
