Education/Credentials Bachelors and Masters degrees in education. Marketing consultant for 25 years. This work, however, stems from a misdiagnosis I suffered in 2004 when I was told I had a rare cancer. I was able to do the necessary research to prove I had no cancer at all.
Question Hi.... I just have a question. I have 2 compressed discs in my neck. I generally have to watch how I move throughout the day as it is, but when I get to bed too late or move to much I suffer with headaches/neckache SO bad! I have had a major migraine the last two days and evcen pain pills haven't helped. I have friends who get headaches like this and they never went away! I guess I am just scared that this headache will last forever- any coping ideas or tricks besides what I have used ibuprofen, heat/cold.... the pain is across my forehead really bad and my neck is sore. Any ideas where to look for help? Thanks
