manipulation,

As some of you are aware I had a migraine 2 weeks ago which the became a chronic tension headache which has lasted for 2 weeks and been completely debilitating. I cant work, can't do anything that involves concentration ie knitting, sewing crafting etc! I cant bear the strong light so have missed the glorious sunshine other than a couple of short walk's. walking hurts, every footfall causes pain. The headaches are resistant to painkiller's and last from morning to night. I have never experienced anything like it before! It is not a pain at level 10 its only a 4-5 but its a constant 4-5, when I walk or go outside it goes up! 






I have been checked by the hospital so there is nothing nasty going on with my brain, I am not dehydrated, do not need my eye's testing, do not have fillings etc. 


My sister in law suggested I go to a physiotherapist! 


So I did, 


He felt my neck and my back, pocked, prodded, twisted, massaged and manipulated. 


It was not pleasant, Having some of my very sore muscles pushed and prodded.


I am holding so much tension in my back and neck muscle's it is causing the headaches. 


After an hour last night, I felt a bit better. 


This morning, My headache did not materialise till about 11am amazing, those few hours without having the pain in my head was bliss!


When the headache started it was less intense until the evening when it has returned to normal. I can  also feel every place where he pressed in my neck and shoulder's.


Today I have spent 80% of the day in bed trying to relax.....


Finally I feel there is some light at the end of the tunnel



(I did not have any pictures of Tunnel's)
