Just a little worried

[Barbara2]

This is a recent comment I made about headaches that I had off and on (but more on than off) for a couple of months:

"My head also hurt in the back, but usually on just one side. My neck is quite stiff and sore, and the muscles across the top of the back get really sore. For a while I wondered if my fibromyalgia, which after the arrival of cancer was put on the back burner, was wanting more attention. The sticky pads that can be applied to muscles usually help quite a bit."

After getting brain mets cleared with an MRI, I went to my family physician with questions about these headaches/muscle pain/blood pressure.

Regarding the headaaches, he said often the back of the head can ache due to muscles spasms in the neck. He also suggested that I may want to look into some deep muscle rubs from a professionnal.

After my visit with him I became more agressive with the neck and shoulder muscles by putting on "Biofreeze" a liquid gel which actually seemed to help quite a bit with both muscle soreness and the headaches too.

I also have some vision problems which are the most noticable after driving on a sunny day. Things are quite blurry after the strain on my eyes.

Hope I've helped some.
