After visiting a chiropractor for a few weeks, I left with this pain, and pain all the way down my back. I finally visited my doctor, who sent me to an IPA physical therapist in town. They were amazing! Turned out to be a destabilized C-1 and C-2 (I had never had this issue before the chiropractor), which they were able to help me with. Additionally, they found the Dura Mater was extremely tight, and have taught me how to release that tension. I occasionally do have issues with this, and when I can’t get relief at home, I find myself back in their office for a few visits. I praise God for the help he led me to! I hope this is helpful to anyone who might be still suffering with this awful condition!
I've had issues with TMJ, which has mostly gone away & now it's the back of my neck/skull that is in pain often. I think people carry stress differently, I'm in my head a lot & the breathing exercises are a great suggestion to those with upper/head pain. Moves your attention lower so those muscles up top can relax.
I'm headed to the tmj doc for my first time tomorrow hoping for some good news mine hurts here in the base of my neck on the left and my temple on the left. It's crazy how many doctors aren't educated in this condition.
Sorry for the slow reply. If you still have the problem I’d recommend a video consultation with my team, email reception@octopusclinic.com There’s also lots of useful exercise and advice videos if you use the search tool on my website www.octopusclinic.com
I've had this pain ever since my chiropractor started "correcting" my range of motion at the base of my skull. Went back a hundred times and the pain only got worse. After about 30+ visits I gave up assuming this was never going to end and I'm wasting my money. I still get pains but it's far less often and severe now then when I was getting adjusted every 2 weeks(ish). Crazy!
Yes that does sound crazy but I’m super glad you are getting better now. There’s lots of useful exercise and advice videos on my website www.octopusclinic.com
How are you right know? I’m starting to suspect the same for my chiro as well. Like it’s doing bad rather than good for me. I’ve been seeing them once a week because of my cervical degeneration.
@@zKaizen8 doing much better! After a year of avoiding chiropractors, I did some research and found a very good chiropractor. I initially went in for hip pain which he has successfully corrected but I told him about my neck issues and I didn't want adjustments on my neck anymore...he was very respectful and gave me exercises to strengthen my neck muscles instead. that has helped a lot!!
I love you to talk about radiation fibrosis. I had treatment for tonsil cancer in 2008 and have chronic neck pain. GPs just look puzzled and some think there is no such thing as radiogenic fibrosis, because radiation "does not affect nerves and muscles having few cellular nuclei"
I have this too in the hips from pelvis radiation. It's real but radiologists don't like to tell you about the risks of their treatment. Radiation is worse than chemo imo.
I’ve had pain in this area for many years. I’ve been through all kinds of treatments and physical therapy. 2 doctors suggested that I get frequency abililation (I don’t think I spelled it correctly). I had the injections 2x and they didn’t help at all. I actually got occipital neuralgia from the the procedure on the right side of my head, and everything is much worse now. The doctor said that he wants to implant a device in the back of my neck with wires coming out to hook up a stimulater. I said no freaking way.
I started experiencing neckpain at the base of my skull after cataract surgery. The glasses from the pharmacy would work for a bit, then type would blur. The ones for driving/uplclose weren't much better. Finally, I demanded a separate prescription for computer-reading. The opthalmologist said there was no correlation between the neck pain and my vision (!)
Have Traumatic Brain injury, concussion and recent brain stroke, dizziness, numbness, equilibrium issues, lots of skull pain, iceberg phenomenon that freezes my heart and lung areas, plus freezing my arms & hands from right above my elbow areas and the same feeling in both legs & feet starting right above my knees. Was in car accident in 17 & got hit by lightning in 75 to name a few.

@@lucymacdonaldphysiotherapi3270 Thanks. Saw heart drs. They weren't able to help at all. Where I live there's no drs, only P.A's that I've found to be Totally incompetent, so I no longer go to see any of them. I'm satisfied with the life I've lived and told my wife that in an emergency health situation for me she's Not to call 911, the police or ambulance. I have too many conflicting issues whereby if they treat me for one thing might affect another area to the point of Killing me. That's what happened to my Dad. I don't intend it to happen to me. Did you know that Every year drs regularly murder over 500k patients in one way or another & because of our lousy laws get away with it? Most drs are inept beyond a certain point and even so called experts regularly kill people and get away with it. Tragically sad, but true.
I have had this tension and pain at the base of my skull for 20 + years . I always thought it was from stress and anxiety . It has been so bad at times , I couldn't turn my head . I have had tinnitus for about 15 years and sometimes I think the tension is causing it

Exactly the same for me, im 24, studying medicin in Sweden. I have also had it for months, it started after an intense week in school with stress and poor posture. One thing that have helped me for pain relief in short term are a strong liniment/salve, in sweden its called "tiger balm" och "snake balm". I cut my hair short and use it on the back of my skull and it really works for some hours and allows me to continue studying. So buy the strongest balm/salve/liniment that the drug store have and give it a try! I see its 1 year ago, how is your pain now, and found something that have helped? /Alexander

I injured my neck at a job years ago. I had physical therapy soon afterwards and there was a big improvement for about 6 months. Since then nothing seems to help much including physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments and exercises. I had surgery several years ago because I was getting pain in my arms. It took care of the pain in the arms but not my neck. I get tinnitus and lose of hearing at times with dizziness and it's hard to sleep through the night, Some nights i have to sleep in a chair with a neck brace on. I had many x-rays and 2 MRI's but doctors can't find the problem. I'm not sure what to try next
There is a video from a different person about the atlas cervical vertebra being out of line and causing it to reduce the flow of the jugular vein up to 70% in some positions. The way he described it was that the jugular works as a two-way street. In with the good and out with the bad. The decreased flow traps too many toxins in the brain and does not allow for proper spinal fluids to get released. Don't know the validity of this, but it may be something to look into??
Thank you so much for this information. I'm gathering as much information that I can find and try to get this resolved. I've been in pain every day for several months and I'm sleeping in a chair at night to keep the pressure off my neck. Hopefully the doctors will be able to help if that's where the problem is
I get this bad headache flaring up from neck very often after taking a hot bath (wich sucks bcs I love meself a hot bath at least once a week :D) but I haven't been able to google up the reason behind it.

I injured my neck at a job years ago. I had physical therapy soon afterwards and there was a big improvement for about 6 months. Since then nothing seems to help much including physical therapy, chiropractic adjustments and exercises. I had surgery several years ago because I was getting pain in my arms. It took care of the pain in the arms but not my neck. I get tinnitus and lose of hearing at times with dizziness and it's hard to sleep through the night, Some nights i have to sleep in a chair with a neck brace on. I had many x-rays and 2 MRI's but doctors can't find the problem. I'm not sure what to try next
There is a video from a different person about the atlas cervical vertebra being out of line and causing it to reduce the flow of the jugular vein up to 70% in some positions. The way he described it was that the jugular works as a two-way street. In with the good and out with the bad. The decreased flow traps too many toxins in the brain and does not allow for proper spinal fluids to get released. Don't know the validity of this, but it may be something to look into??

Thank you so much for this information. I'm gathering as much information that I can find and try to get this resolved. I've been in pain every day for several months and I'm sleeping in a chair at night to keep the pressure off my neck. Hopefully the doctors will be able to help if that's where the problem is

Howdy! I was in an MVA and ever since, I’ve had pains in the base of my skull & upper neck that radiates into the head (cervico-genic HAs); MRI of C-Spine shows annular tears & herniated disc, but no subluxation. Every doctor I’ve seen has no resolution. Any suggestions? It’s debilitating…
Go to mexico bro the US is a joke of a country their medical knowledge is a lie and they only care about insurance money
How did u find out u had annular tears?

First off. What is a physiotherapist? Secondly will we ever regenerate our spines like lamprey fish? That seems overdue and necessary.
Spine regeneration? Who knows, we are the beginning of the age of AI after all! Probably not in our lifetimes though.
