Chronic Tension Headache and Upper Back Pain For 6 Years

I have been suffering from a permenant chronic tension headache, severe tightness around my right temple on the right side, neck pain, and severe muscle pain/knots by my right shoulder blade and in my right lat. it’s been 24/7 for 6 years.

I’ve seen my GP numeous times over the years, seen a Nuerologist, had nerve block injections, MRI’s, long courses of massage, accupunture, osteopathy, physio, posture correction, eyes tested...EVERYTHING.

It’s not daily or weekly pain. It’s been pain and chronic tension severely prohibiting my life 24/7 with no let up for 6 years. No one seems to have a solution or cause. I have to lay on a tennis ball on my upper back by my right shoulder blade whenever I can for minor relief, which hurts like hell, but brings a little pressure relief from the head.

It’s ruining my life, and making me not go out, constantly miserable and ruining my work and social life.

The only things I haven’t had is Botox or a trigger point type injections.

Any ideas at all?

Recognizing and keeping away from cerebral pain triggers might forestall a strain migraine. Keeping a standard rest, exercise, and dinner plan is likewise useful. In the event that pressure migraines happen routinely or oftentimes, treatments like mental social treatment, unwinding treatment, or biofeedback might diminish or dispose of cerebral pains.

I just realized this thread is 4 years old! If you're still around and reading this, I'd be really interested to hear if you've found any relief or solutions since your original post.

I would also be interested if you have found a solution. Four years is a fairly long time. If you're reading this, do update your post with us!
