the verdict on my headaches

[ilovexnerdsx]

so as i've posted before, i get very severe headaches, and there had been a possibility i had a brain tumor, or a very severe problem.

recently i went to the chiropractor (on a whim really, we weren't sure what he'd be able to do) and it turns my neck is just barely strong enough to even support my skull. a head weighs 8 lb, and i can press 8 lb with my neck. this is crushing one of my nerves, and this is what's causing my headaches.

i thought i'd post this because though it seems like bad news, it actually isn't, as this is something that can be fixed (and is being worked on.) i wanted to keep you all updated and share the good news because i am so glad it is something fixable, and not something more severe as previously though.

going to the chiropractor helped with my migrains too, my neck seizes up too much and can cause them.
I'm glad you found a way to help with the headaches, I know I struggled for a year or so before I got them under control.

I had severe headaches too. my b.f suggested going to his chiropractor. turns out I have no muscle strength(my muscles have all shut down) at ALL on the left side of my back and neck.. due to a hurt knee several years ago.
its really strange all the tests he did , but I was relieved to know it wasn't something extremely serious, like you said, a tumor or something else

Chiropractors ROCK! I love mine he is so good and friendly and I am not at all nervous whenever I go which is great compared to what I am going to the doctors or whatever...

Although he can't fix my migraines

...he did fix my tension headaches though....until I had to leave town for school again

that's awesome news! I'm so glad to hear it wasn't anything scary like a brain tumor! Good luck on your treatment and I hope your headache goes away soon!

I love my chiropractor. I get headaches constantly, and it's because I'm prone to inflammation in my neck and shoulders. I see him once a week, and it's definitely helped me! Glad to see that the reason for your headaches *wasn't* something serious.

Wonderful! That is great news. I think this calls for a hippified group hug.

:congrats:

And some dancing bananas!

And lest we not forget

That's good news!

I love my Chiro. She figured out what was the matter with my knee. Although she can't completely fix it, it puts off my need for a knee replacement for about 5 years (which still only leaves me at 29 years old), but that's better then getting it now like they thought.

I'm happy for you though. At least it's something that is fixable!!

I'm so glad it's something that can be worked on is being worked on =)

Thank you for the update.
