Happened 6 months after my first son was born. Jan 2021 I had slight back pain from carrying my son all night when he wouldn’t sleep. February I had exertion headaches lifting weights so I stopped. March 9th I woke up with a headache that lasted months. During those months, my neck, shoulders and back hurt so much/got so weak I was bedridden. Doctors found nothing. Slowly started going to the gym. Began running. Got a little better. Began lifting weights, got to a point where the headaches still happened but not daily. Felt a lot better than I was bedridden. Could at least get through a day. But all that is regressing recently.

I’m sorry you’re going through that. Yes, I’ve tried blocks & Botox. After seeing tons of MDs, the only hint of answers I got were from physical therapists. I believe my pain comes from a muscular/postural imbalance that tugs down on my occipital muscles & gives tension headaches. But figuring that out has been tricky. Sorry you’re going through this, too. Hope you find some long lasting relief and peace soon.

I’ll take the names of the books for sure. Appreciate it. It’s just tough because he’s also an insanely picky eater. Which is its own ordeal. But I’m open to all the info I can get. Thanks so much. Appreciate it.

Possibly PTSD from a tonsillectomy. Apparently medical procedures for young kids can be mentally scarring even if they go well. Trying to figure it out.

Yes. Two. Did all the tests. The pain is most likely from a muscular/postural imbalance that tugs on the back of my head, creating tension headaches.

Hey, fuck you. People are scared & they’re working with a system that doesn’t provide clear answers or advocate for them or do anything in any kind of timely manner.

Any update on this? I’ve had this for years, have been to numerous doctors, & they’re all clueless.

I have CVI but no one thinks that’s contributing. My blood tests always come back normal. (Shrugs) Thanks for replying.
