It started a couple months ago when I woke up and couldn't turn my head. In the back of my neck right under my head there was this sharp pain that just wouldn't go away. It felt like being stubbed with a knife in the back of my head, on the right hand side. I had this before but then it just stopped after a couple of days so I expecting the same, but after about two weeks I had to go to see a doctor. He sent me to get an Xray but it came out OK. The pain calmed down a little, and I am now able to move my head and slowly it turned into a morning thing only.

I wake up with this pain every day. It is extreme, but it goes away during the day, and by the evening I can do anything, any movements I want. I got myself an orthopedic pillow two days ago. I had a good morning yesterday when the pain was almost gone, but this morning it is back. I think the pillow helps a little, but I don't think it solved the problem.

I just don't know what else to do. I will go back to the doc and ask him if there is any other way to try to get to this problem. There must be something wrong, maybe a muscle, or it could even be a tumour..... It is scarry, but mostly just very uncomfortable.

Any ideas?

    1.) a warm bath with water jets!

    2.) massage

    3.) plain old walking to make you muscles stonger

    4.) relax...take a deep breath. Let your emotions go.Stop worrying about things so much!

a few random thoughts, I got nothing else....
i did it again...
I feel so completely empty. I've been so depressed lately that I can't seem to remember when I became this way. What happened to me? I can't be happy anymore. I can't bring myself to do any of the things I used to like. All I want to do is sit around and...
what if you cant reach them...
This may possibly be the longest post I will have ever written....
